Three planets in a straight line in the sky!

One of them is the moon..

Dunno, maybe Venus and Jupiter, looks cool.

If I had a good camera I'd take a pic, but I don't.. so i won't..

Got a good camera, but what am I looking at?!?!

Bloody ipad

I'm not much up on this, but in the western sky just after sunset, Jupiter and Venus coming together, see 2 bright dots (4 if youre on the juice). A few fingers width above the horizon. Ish.
They will come slowly together over the next few weeks,

And then all hell breaks loose!

Clouds, well thats all we got around here

Clouds here too now..

Looking west, moon then diagonally up to the left was Venus then Jupiter I think. Just the way the light was reflecting off of everything at the time, you coud see the shaded bit of the moon clear as day. ..

need a better camera.

I have a stars and planet app on the iPhone. It's been keeping me amused on the way to Mexico each week. Sort of.

How many kilos a week are you up to now? Being a pilot is sooooooo much easier than using mules. Want a job done properly... do it yourself..
