Beauty Cubed

Moon, Mars and Venus

Conjunction of the Moon, Venus and Mars on May 22nd, 2009
Sketch and Details by Carlos E. Hernandez

I was able to view a Waning Crescent Moon (~23 degrees above the eastern horizon), a brilliant Venus (-4.32m,~31* above the eastern horizon) and Mars (1.35m, ~27* above the eastern horizon) over a lavender to bluish-gray clouded horizon. The trio was impressive over the hazy sky.
