Yesterday evening, a friend and I were outside enjoying the sunset. The sun had just dipped below the horizon and we got an awesome view of Venus,Jupiter and the Moon aligned in the sky, or so it looked. Venus & Jupiter are in Capricorn @ 27 & 23 degrees, respectively. The Moon is @ 9 degrees Pisces, so they're not completely aligned but it sure looked that way. We enjoyed it.
My friend said this only occurs once every 52 yrs so be sure to check the sky ;-)

We were lucky enough to see it the other night too. There was a thread with pics. My son pointed out the "smilie face" in the sky to me. I didn't realise the significance of it until later and got them out of bed to look at it together. I love those unique moments.
