Gorgeous view of Venus and the Moon in the sky above Kendal tonight...
Hope some of you saw it too!

did you see Jupiter and Mercury as well? I've been catching them after sunset in Santa Monica, CA. It's been really clear!

I managed to go out and spot them just now. Almost setting, they were at the same horizontal level -- it looked like they were flying in formation, low over the mountains to the southwest of me. I can really understand how someone who didn't know what was going on could take it into his head to report them as a pair of alien ships.

All of them are visible here in San Diego as well! Noticed a little Earthshine also
Got big plans for tonight, so this was a very beautiful starter. -------------------- Lyford Rome
