This Week's Triple Planet Conjunction


Our Internet friends at Spaceweather alerted us to the spectacular planetary triangle now forming on the western horizon at sunset.

You can follow the story here at Spaceweather. Expect that site to post some fine photographs and videos of the event over the week.
