WOW! What pictures! I have been following this event, and tonight, for the first time, I saw depth between Jupiter and Venus. Instead of seeing the two planets flat against the sky, I could actually see that Venus is closer. It was really cool!

Following the conjunction’s progress as the days pass is even more fun when you realize that people all over the world are also watching.

Now THAT’S cool! :-)

I used to love taking that sort of photo with a person "holding up" something huge in the background.
