There was a lovely quarter moon Tuesday evening as I was driving home from the office. As on so many other occasions over the past couple of years, it's a wonder I made it home in one piece, between keeping one eye on the winding mountain road and the other on the scenery.
I noticed a bright star just to the west of the moon,and figured it was the planet Jupiter, which is currently transitting Capricorn (in the Tropical zodiac.) You can't see it in this photograph, because by the time I stopped to take some pics the clouds had rolled in.
