Free Show

Glorious crescent moon, Venus, Mercury grouping in the sky tonight.  Right after sunset.  

As a bonus, Gordo sez the possibility of aurora borealis is high tonight, due to a giant solar promenance.  So turn off your TV and step outside.

Thanks for the information. I know I have been noticing Venus in the western sky at twilight, but I will look for that other large star too - Aldebaran. Thanks so much for this illustration. And thanks for you comment on my blog.

You're welcome, femme. I love the sound of the name Aldebaran, the way it flows off the tongue. It's fun to say.

It was, Scarlett. That crescent moon/Venus combo as dusk is one of my favorite sights. Should be a monthly occurrence for awhile.

Have a beautiful time
