Explanation:
At sunset, Monday's western sky showed off stunning colors and dramatic clouds
reflected in Brisbane Water on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
It also featured the remarkable conjunction of the crescent Moon, Venus, and
Jupiter forming a twilight smiley face. While the gathering of the two bright
planets and Moon awed skygazers around planet Earth, astronomer Mike Salway
reports taking special pains to record this gorgeous view, braving mosquitos
and rain squalls along a soggy shore. His southern hemisphere perspective finds
brilliant Venus at the highest point in the celestial grouping. For now, a
bright pairing of Venus and Jupiter continues to dominate the western horizon
after sunset but the Moon has moved on and tonight is near its first quarter
phase.
