Sky Triangle

This is the Astrophysics Lab, after all, isn't it? I probably should list some sort of astronomical phonenoma every once in a while. Thanks to my computer program, Stellarium, which is available free online, I found out that two nights ago was a great night to take this picture.

This is a crescent moon, of course, with Venus (the brighter one), and Jupiter (more dim). Beautiful, isn't it? :-) We had fun taking pictures out there. I should do that more often!
