The Moon, Venus, & Jupiter - 20 June 2015


Moon-Venus-Jupiter

 
This is a post-sunset view of the young Moon, Venus, and Jupiter. Venus and Jupiter, to the right of the moon in this photo, are drawing closer together in the sky and will close to an angle less than the moon's angular diameter in 10 days (30 June). Unfortunately, the Moon is moving eastward, away from the pair.
