Crescent moon, Venus, and Saturn

 

Crescent moon, Venus, and Saturn at sunset on 23 January 2023.  [Venus is down and to the right of the moon, and Saturn is down and to the right of, but fairly close to, Venus.  Saturn is likely too faint to see in this photo, but see below for orientation.]

The Great Conjunction of 2020

  

You might need to look closely, but yes, that's Jupiter on the left (to the south) and Saturn (with rings!) on the right (to the north).  Photographed from Bodega Head on 21 December 2020.  There was some cloud cover around sunset, but the clouds shifted to the south and east just in time, revealing a wonderful view of the "Great Conjunction of 2020."

P.S.  Happy Winter Solstice!
