On Easter, as I was driving home, I saw an airplane pass right in front of Venus.

And then, last Friday night, also while driving home, I saw an airplane pass right in front of Aldebaran. I had to pull over to figure out which star it was and accidentally discovered a decently dark area.

So I can’t believe I had to wait years to see a plane pass in front of the Moon.

This was taken from Maui? Come on, Phil, you missed a golden opportunity to say “Holy Haleakala!”

It’s a great picture. Thanks for sharing.

What has struck me following Venus and Jupiter for a few months now is the dramatic (relative) change in position you can see from day to day.

Love the photo. It’s now the wallpaper on my Galaxy Tab. It seems fitting.

Well, good for you, Mark, but I’m not bitter: I’ve got a nice shot over the rooftops of Slough ….

Damn.

I looked at this photo and thought oh wow, the ocean and sky and if I lived when neanderthals lived, what would I think about this view? The same thing I thought now – oh, what a wonder! Would you just look at that!

Finally got to see it last night (we’ve had almost week of rain and 100% cloud cover [at least in the evenings]).
