Together, almost and for only a short time

I was finished making supper and the buzzer had buzzed, so I was in a hurry to get something of the conjunction I saw out the window as I went past it. It was Jupiter and Venus, being swallowed by clouds and going down behind the neighbour's house.

So I grabbed this shot which I am pretty pleased with. My wife held the curtains back for me. It is through three layers of window glass, but not bad.

If you zoom in, you can see three moons of Jove: Callisto, Ganymede and Io. And you can imagine, if you will, that you see the ovate phase of Venus. Maybe. Maybe not.

And then we ate supper. The clouds moved in and the planets slipped further down, and they were gone.
