Hidden behind the moon

  

We were driving home from work tonight (13 January 2025) during the occultation of Mars by the Moon, but here's a quick shot after Mars had emerged and was visible just above the Moon.  (Yes, that tiny speck is Mars!)  My camera didn't really do this pairing justice it was quite striking to the visible eye.

Yes! We saw it too! And we're looking forward to Saturday, January 25th when all seven planets will be visible and aligned! (Looking for more info on that as to when will be the best time to view them from Petaluma! It will be a waning moon too, so hopefully better to see them all!
