Explanation:
Do you recognize the city lights of
Paris
in this picture?
Taken on March 25 from the top of the 210 meter tall
Montparnasse skyscraper, many will spot the looming
Eiffel Tower,
or the large domed structure of
Les Invalides
(right), or the colorfully lit elevated
Metro
train line gently curving toward picture center.
You can even pick out the
Arc de Triomphe
close to the horizon
on the right.
But regardless of your location, the
celestial lights
near the western horizon
should look
very familiar.
The
lovely triple conjuntion of brilliant
Venus (top),
Jupiter, and a young crescent Moon
was visible in evening skies
around
planet Earth.
