Explanation:
Last Sunday when the Moon was young
its sunlit crescent hung low near the western horizon at sunset.
With strong earthshine it was joined by
Saturn shining in the early
evening sky for a beautiful
conjunction visible to skygazers around our fair planet.
On that clear evening on a hill near
Veszprem, Hungary
mother, daughter, bright planet, and young Moon
are framed in this quiet night skyscape taken with a telephoto lens.
Of course
the Moon ages
too quickly for some,
and by tonight the sunlit part has reached its first quarter phase.
This weekend skygazers spending quality time under
Moon and stars
might expect to see the annual rain of comet dust otherwise
known as the Leonid meteor
shower.
