APOD 3.5

An Evening Sky Conjunction: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150220.html


A pairing of the moon and Venus can be seen in this eight year old photo. Seen near the western horizon, this conjunction can be seen reflecting in the water in Bolu, Turkey. Venus has orbited the Sun at least 13 times since this photo was taken meaning that a similar conjunction can be seen tonight. The only difference is tonight the conjunction will also have a fainter Mars nearby.
