The moon, Venus and Jupiter came together Monday evening in a rare conjunction that was visible to the naked eye. This picture was taken outside my house. We missed the tightest conjunction which, according to this article, was supposed to look like a frown. (Click to enlarge)

That was very cool. And nicely done with the picture, too. Not easy.
