If you have a non-cloudy sky today (Monday) at sunset and looking west, you will see one of the most unusual close alignments of the plants Venus, Jupiter and the moon that you will ever see....

between sunset and about 10pm (EDST) you will see a smiley face with the planets forming the "eyes" and the partial moon forming the smile under them

And if you look real hard ... you will also see the fellow members of the WA AULROions ....... So give us a wave

No ... Unless Rolf Harris is on your star list

Thanks Laurie .
I saw the two planets close to each other last night. I knew one was Venus but I didn't know which planet the other one was.

Just putting this back up the top as it should be getting close to night time over in the East coast

Unfortunately, cloud is moving in from the west......

Kat needs a tripod! Think I just got the hint for her Christmas present. But here is the best we could do using long exposure but hand held....




Top "star" well, planet, is Venus. Lower planet is Jupiter.
