From now on until about May 28th there will be a conjunction of Jupiter, Venus and Mars in the evening sky.
According to spaceweather.com the planets will be bright enough to see through some city lights. A view of the horizon will be necessary.
NASA has a film showing the different configurations.
The maximum closeness of the planets occurs on May 26th I believe.
Choose a good spot and feature this in your landscape photo.

So are you saying find a planet conjunction junction for a photography function? :smile:

Hooking up pixels and planets at sunset.

Sorry, could not resist. :biggrin:

I will be keeping an eye out for this. Great tip. Thank Fisch .


BTW, that is a Schoolhouse Rock reference for those who were not kids in the 70's.
