About this image

A bedroom window shot with a compact camera of the Crescent Moon top left and Venus bottom right in the evening twilight. Mars is much fainter slightly above and to the left of Venus with Regulus a little higher and to the left of Mars. Venus and Mars are nearing their closest approach before Venus swings in to inferior conjunction in August. Mars is now quite faint and hard to see in the long evening twilight at these latitudes.
