Explanation:
On February 22, a young Moon shared the western sky at sunset
with bright planets Venus and Jupiter
along the ecliptic plane.
The beautiful celestial conjunction was
visible around planet Earth.
But from some
locations
Jupiter hid for a while,
occulted by the crescent lunar disk.
The Solar System's ruling gas giant was captured here just
before it disappeared behind the the Moon's dark edge,
seen over
the Rco de la Plata at Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay.
In the serene river and skyscape Venus is not so shy,
shining brightly closer to the horizon
through the fading twilight.
Next week Venus and Jupiter will appear
even
closer
in your evening sky.
