Venus and the Moon do it again! April 22 2009
Attention all early risers (or late night people), we are having another crack at seeing the conjunction of Venus and the Crescent Moon. This occurs on April 22 (Wednesday) between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM. My reference is Cortland N.Y.; times will vary a little other locations. As the Cresent Moon climes into the sky in the East, Venus will start to disappear behind the Moon. The whole event will end by being washed out by the rising Sun. Just below the moon will sit Mars, may not see it but you never know. Also, to the upper right (Southeast) will be the very bright Jupiter. So, given a clear sky to the East, pleasant temperature, and lots of coffee, we can expect a very nice celestial evert on Wednesday morning.
