2-27-09 Venus and Luna Embrace Street Astro

This was not to be missed - two of the brightest objects in our Earthly skies after our Sun in a convenient display to be enjoyed and pondered. I had 36 visitors before the sky closed it's curtain on this display . What an opportunity to share the gospel of universe - simple alignments that are soooooo noticeable and raises all kinds of questions like:

"What is it?" " Are the Moon and Venus always lined up like that - are they always in the same phase together?" "Is this a sign foretelling of something really important?" People were running over to my little station tonight - no time for people pics just views through the scope , modeling, and fielding questions - gotta love it! This is a pic of our Sunset with Venus and Luna behind the clouds - can you see them? I can't!
