Beaver Moon and Saturn Conjunction

Today is the Beaver (Full) Moon and I was able the other day to get the moon in ascendency and close to conjunction with Saturn in the eastern sky. It turned out to be a nice picture and the moon almost looked like the Star of Bethlehem shining in this photo.

Jupiter and Venus Conjunction

In the early evening just as the sky was darkening on March 3rd, Jupiter and Venus came together in conjunction over the west horizon. This was just for a short time and won't happen again for another 9 years. I was fortunate to sit out on our porch and view with strong binoculars. I also was able to capture a bright view of them together with my iPhone. Vada and Victoria joined me to get a view of the planets and then the bright moon more to the south.
