The Crescent Moon Joins Venus and Mars Dance

I captured this stunning view early on November 7, 2015 of the 15% crescent Moon, Venus, and Mars in a fabulous conjunction over Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA. From sunset on, we were slammed with clouds and fog. Once 4:30 a.m. swung around, the skies cleared showing off the beautiful conjunction.
