MOON!

Did anyone see last night's close conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter? It was pretty spectacular, and the farther south you lived, the closer the pair. In South America, the Moon actually 'eclipsed' Jupiter.

For those who missed it:

Near closest approach - Jupiter and the Moon (~ 10:15 PM EST, 1/21/13)

I'm just gonna have to see it by looking at your pretty pretty picture. We had grey cloudy skies all weekend.

I did! It was startling having the two brightest objects in the sky right beside one another.

Lovely photo.
