Stonehenge, Venus and the Moon

Summary Author: Chris Kotsiopoulos
Shown above are Venus and the elusive Mercury, as well as the Moon, over prehistoric Stonehenge. Capturing this planetary conjunction was the result of careful planning, along with a touch of luck, as I was treated to a beautiful sunset. Mid-level clouds not only produced the fiery sunset but also yielded the distinctive corona about Venus (top center). Note that both the Moon and Venus are in their crescent phases.
