Explanation:
The great evening grouping of planets
is coming to an end.
Before all the
planets went their own
separate directions, however, the
Moon was kind enough to
pose with some of them.
The planets in the
above picture, taken last week, are
Venus and
Jupiter.
Mars,
Saturn, and even
Mercury appear to the lower right of
Venus but are too dim to be seen.
Over the next two weeks, the
Moon will rise earlier and earlier passing a
full phase on May 26.
Venus and Jupiter will continue to shine,
moving together until their closest approach on June 3.
The Eiffel Tower, however, is expected to remain right where it is.
