A stunning telephoto image captures the rare double occultation of Venus and Jupiter by the crescent Moon on April 23rd, as seen from Ascension Island. Venus emerges from behind the brightly lit crescent, while Jupiter appears above the dark lunar limb, with its moons Ganymede and Io visible nearby. The faint earthshine illuminates the rest of the Moon's surface.

A composite image showcasing the path of Mercury across the evening sky over Leeds, England in March 2004. Each point of light represents Mercury's position 33 minutes after sunset on a different day. A crescent moon is visible in the lower left corner, with a cityscape silhouetted against the twilight horizon. The image beautifully demonstrates Mercury's close proximity to the sun and its challenging visibility from Earth.

Full Moon last night - called a Pink Moon but the name is for the first blooms of the pink phlox wildflowers I believe.
