Juvenoon!

I’ve just installed some decent image software on the new iMac, and so have finally been able to move some images off the camera card and on to the computer. Here’s one taken last week during the ‘triple conjunction’ of Venus, Jupiter and the Moon:


Or as I like to call it, Juvenoon! Click the image for a larger version.

  1. Red spot
    What’s the red spot at the left of Jupiter? It couldn’t be Io, could it?

    It’s not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me…
    It’s all the rabbit SH*T you stumble over on your way down!!!

      Not sure RPJ, though I would doubt that Io would be that far away. I thought probably just a digital artifact – I was going to edit it out, but then I might have found myself the subject of an extended diatribe on Richard Hoagland’s website…
      ;P

      Kind regards,

  2. Brilliant, Greg!
    And beautiful. I did see the phenomenon, but didn’t try to photograph it as I’ve found in the past that full-moon-rising and suchlike photos just look boringly disappointing when viewed – at least the ones I take are.

    Thanks – I’ve saved it off, hope you don’t mind.

    Regards, Kathrinn
