A Little Closer

Half moon high in the southwestern sky. Jupiter and Venus low getting closer together.

As close a shot as I can get of Jupiter and Venus coming together.

A half-moon tonight

The night sky looking toward the southeast.

The night sky looking north.

On The Verge Of Converge

The Moon, Jupiter, and Venus lined up last night. Jupiter and Venus managed to shine through the clouds.

Only three nights left before Jupiter and Venus meet as they cross paths from our earthly view.

Jupiter and Venus shine through the clouds, between the trees.

The stars looked on.

Allusive Green

Using apps that showed me where the Green Comet should have been, I photographed the night sky in hopes of getting some sort of sighting. Between the 94% full moon and general light pollution, the Greeny is too faint to see. I’ll try again on the 10th when Greeny will be close to Mars and the moon with come up late.

An attempt to photograph the Green Comet. It was near Polaris last night.

Jupiter and moons

Nutty

Eastern sky. Mars to the left of the moon in the moon’s glow.

Kitties Conflate

Loki and Gwendolyn

Kitties conflated
Tangled mess of tails and toes
Two cats into one

When a half-moon blurs
Becomes a ball, a cold sun
Sits eternal blue

From time’s space, she saw
Vibrant sky wore lacy trees
Venus winked, skies blushed
