Jupiter, moon, venus conjunction-December 1st, 2008-NOW, just caught it by accident..

[tsquare]

Just looking at the sky right now.
Was on my way hone and seen this conj in the sky.....that's a cool way to come across things....

If it's nighttime where you live right now, go out and take a peak.
You'll see venus, and jupiter in the sky right up next to the moon.
Two bright lights and the cresent moon is right there close.

I seen these two "starts" the other night conj. and was wondering what they were.
Turns out they were jupiter in venus.

Really neat pictures here from Africa, just some time ago, while it was night for them.

I am in north central North America and I can see it now.

The moon has shifted some...the frown they speak of is now a smile.


Looks really cool.


IF you can, go look now, sky is perfectly clear where I'm at.
In a rush.

Tsquare.

Here is the chart of the event.
I looked at the clock when I seen it.
I don't wear a watch, and I didn't have my phone, so it's a few minutes late...but it's interesting too see just where the sun is at, below the horizon, and the angle there to the moon and the conj. It's very bright right now. Light hit's it just right.

looking at the moon right above the horizon, and to the south of me...south west...
I don't have a telescope and I don't watch the sky much...some, but not like this were I just catch something bay accident, post a chart and look at it...
Interesting doing the comparison and finding it in the chart.

I'm going to go back out now and watch it maybe for a moment longer...make a wish or something....(shrugs)

Moon I am assuming was on the other side of the planets when the pictures below were taken, that frown right now is a smile...kind of....I never seen it htat way....it just looked like a crescent moon to me with two really bright stars beside it. I know there not stars, but they are very bright tonight...brighter then they were last night...I believe it was either last night or the night before I seen the conj of venus and jupiter...they were close at least...Now with moon....go take a look...don't miss it.








A picture form the blog below, just to give an idea.
Credit goes to the owner of that blog which I linked below.....I don't have a camera.

I had noticed this beautiful conjunction too, two days ago. Last night I could see it nately through my window.
This conj is passing through my ascendant right now :]

With the moon it looked very interesting....
I went back out to look after I posted the last post....and the sky had clouded over...just a few stars through the pitch black clouds...really strange...can't see a cloud in the sky...it's just like a black sheet that only a few stars can shine through...and no moon is vissible...
Was relaly hoping to catch it again...but the conj should still be there tomarrow night..maybe..it should....just not the moon...
I really need to invest in a digital camera.


Havn't had time to look at your full moon postings yet...just took a glance but am having computer troubles again...computer is overheating. Need to clean it out with a can of compressed air then let it sit for a day. I keep putting it off...hopefully I do it tommarow...I can only have it powered up a short time, depending on how much i have running, before it gets hot.
I havn't done a backup either.

Loosing it all woldn't be fun.

I wanted to put this up though, relaly neat conj to watch.

I knew that it was going to happen. And I was planning on taking some pictures. But... cloud cover, snow, ugh! The first real snow here in Indiana and it happened Monday night. But hey I knew it was there.
