Tonight (the first day of summer!) Jupiter, Venus and the crescent moon aligned to make a face in the sky!
I managed to get some photos so I'll post them soon...
Did anyone else see this or know of it? It won't happen again for a number of years.
Here's a video of what happens and what we just saw over here tonight:Alignment of Jupiter, Venus and crescent moon
ohh, it's already happened for you!! I'm going to see it tonight!
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
I noticed that! Ain't it purty? I thought it was real neat the other night, too, when Venus and Jupiter were perfectly aligned. Ah, space.
Tomorrow always holds the promise of something new and exciting. I am the Jetsons meet the Flintstones.
I don't get it? where's the smiley face exactly?
I'm so disappointed! It's cloudy tonight!!((((

Awesome! I saw it last night and my friend remarked on it but we didn't realize what we were seeing...

I just saw it this evening, though the planets had moved a bit away. It didn't form a face, but it's cool to see Venus and Jupiter as clearly as they were. Both were way brighter than the stars.

In these parts it's a frowning face, but still very cool.

haha..that's the topic in our block last night..I was not able to really see the thing. It was too cloudy last night. I don't know why
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise."
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald
here's some photos I took the other night of what we saw here
(I think my dad got better ones, as he used a tripod, and I kept moving!)
I didn't even know about it and I love that sort of thing. I was a little put out when I saw it in the news.
