Conjunction of the Moon, Venus and Jupiter
Sketch and Details by Carlos E. Hernandez
I made a naked eye observation of the Waxing Crescent Moon (3.76 days old), Venus, and Jupiter over the southwestern sky on December 1, 2008 (22:45 U.T.). The trio was paired between a pair of trees and pastel orange clouds. It was a very impressive sight. I hope that others were able to view it as well.
