Venus was the brightest I think I've ever seen it, and the moon was also unusually bright. I've never seen these two together, either. I saw them first framed by two tall buildings, which I thought was cool. You can rarely see many stars in Taipei because of frequent cloud cover and lots of light pollution, and last night there were no stars, but Venus was clearly visible!

I thought the Moon looked odd, a little different. I saw it at 3:00 AM and I noticed the warm star to its left. Warm, meaning it is closer to us than a blue star, where that means it is colder and further away from us. I enjoyed it and noticed the odd shapes that appeared. I am glad I woke up and looked out the window to see a great site! I saw the Moon last night and it was a breathtaking site. I thought the Moon looked odd, a little different.

Still impressive, given that I'm in a very high light area. I did infact see it last night, but it was a little later and venus was probably 20 degrees to the right of the moon by the time I saw it.
