Moon - Venus Conjunction at 15 degrees of Aries (tropical zodiac)
Friday, February 27, 2009
as viewed from southern Washington State, USA
The moon in its waxing crescent meets up with the soon-to-be retrograding Venus, on its way to the last Full Moon before the Spring Equinox.
Beautiful photograph of the heavens. Pictures like this have a way of giving such dimension to life.

I don't think I've ever seen Venus appear so big and bright as it did last night. Really amazing.

This is an amazing photo - of things so far away. It's hard to imagine the distance.

This is a beautiful photo. Whenever I start feeling like I am too big for my own britches, I look up at our beautiful sky and that puts it all back in perspective...
