On Sunday, the young crescent Luna jumped above the horizon to join Venus and Jupiter, whose close conjunction was already in progress. It was a bit hazy in Tualatin, with some sunlit clouds giving the Moon something to hide behind. This helped equalize the exposure for the planets, showing them as bright sky beacons through the haze.

On Monday, the Moon snuggled up even closer to the planets, but unfortunately Tualatin was socked in with clouds. Oh well; I enjoyed my Sunday show nonetheless! :-)
