Planetary Conjunction
Three bright planets were in conjunction tonight - clustered within an arc of three degrees. Over the past few days I had been watching them move closer together. The last few nights the planets played hide and seek with the clouds. Tonight, the night of the tightest cluster, the clouds behaved, and we were treated to this sight that only happens every couple of years.
