I captured this outstanding photo last night about forty minutes after midnight of our beautiful Waning Gibbous Moon as she appeared just between the planets Jupiter and Mars high in the eastern sky. In addition I also captured many of the nearby brightest stars of the constellations Gemini, Canis Minor, Taurus and Orion.
Luna will pass by the bright star, Pollux, late on Tuesday, November 19th and Mars on the the night of Wednesday, November 20th. On both nights, the moon will appear only a degree, or so, apart from both heavenly bodies.
Jupiter, with its much slower orbit, will remain close to the Constellation Taurus for awhile; but Mars will soon begin to appear brighter as it moves ever closer to its opposition to the Earth in its orbit.
