Moon, Jupiter & Venus line up

[Notebook]

The Moon, Venus and Jubiter are lining up nicely in the Western sky over the next three nights, in the UK at least.

If its not cloudy, I'll get the Box Brownie out and take a few snaps.

Glad to hear that, it looked very good last night in the Northern UK. Looking forward to tonight, just need the clouds to stay away!

Moon, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars are all very clearly visible at the same time right now. Awesome!

Finally I've take some photos of the event. I believe Venus and Jupiter are near closest distance these days, err nights. Taken this evening from my hometown Karlsruhe at dusk, snapped away as I was cycling through downtown. Leaning the camera against a street lamp pole helped a lot.

I've seen the two planets in the sky, but failed to see them alongside when the moon was up near them.
