Aeromoe's Version of Joe Orman's Naked-Eye 100 List

Number 59: Moon / Planet Conjunction (Page Two)

Here is a pretty nice photo showing four planets (five if you count Earth) and the Moon.
This photo was made on August 11th, 2010 a bit after sunset. The very young moon is a few degrees southwest of Mercury.
Please scroll down to see a comparative photo of how much the moon moved over 24 hours and its relative position to Venus.
Please roll your mouse over the image to see the labeled version of the photo.

Below is a comparative photo showing Venus' relative position to the moon 23 hours 40 minutes later.
The exposure time for this photo was not quite long enough to register Mars and Saturn in the image.
