Explanation:
The bright light at the end of this country road is actually a remarkably
close conjunction
of two planets.
After sunset on August 27 brilliant Venus and
Jupiter
almost appear as a single celestial beacon in the
night skyscape taken near Lake Wivenhoe, Queensland,
Australia.
A spectacular vertical panorama from the
southern hemisphere,
it shows the central Milky Way near zenith, posed on
top of a pillar of Zodiacal light along the ecliptic plane.
Of course Mars and Saturn are near the ecliptic
too, just below the galaxy's central bulge.
Above and left of a tree on the horizon, fleeting planet
Mercury also adds to the light at the
end of the road.
