3.5: Venus and Jupiter in Morning Skies


I completely fell in love with this picture, it is so beautiful. The two bright star-like things are actually Venus and Jupiter! They are the second and third britest objects in the nightime sky (after the moon). The planets are separated by about two degrees when this picture was taken on Janruary 30. However, gap between the two planets closed to about half a degree on following nights. This picture was taken along the Miankaleh Peninsula and Gorgan Bay.

By the way, today there occurred a similar, even more spectacular alignment, if you hadn't already heard.
