Jupiter and Venus

It was rainy and overcast here in Washington DC area tonight, so I couldn't see the planets. But I'll keep looking over the next few days. If you haven't heard about the planets being in conjunction, see this: Earth & Sky | Tonight

I guess this only applies to the northern hemisphere though? Can anyone south of the equator comment?

Yesterday evening when I took a bus home I peered through the windows I saw the eclipse of the moon with two bright spots on each side. I thought they were some stationary satellites or the like until I saw the news. I think you meant this. I didn't take photo for that as I was not expecting it.

The image of a face didn't came to my mind, but no doubt it could be observed very easily and managed to catch my attention despite I was quite drowsy. The sky has been very clear over these few days, a phenomenon that is scarce here for so long. It looked perfect.

It was rainy and overcast in Bangalore as well, last night. I hope to see it today.

I had a great view last night. Venus steals the show... it looks more like an aircraft or something. That's not a lunar eclipse though... an eclipse wouldn't last more than an hour or two and you start and end with a full moon.

It was beautiful in the Chiang Mai, Thailand evening sky last night! Looked like two eyes and a smiling face, very unusual.

Sorry with the wrong term - I meant a "crescent" but not sure why the word "eclipse" came to mind instead. Probably because I was using the Eclipse IDE when I was typing. Smilie
