See it on NASA's siteThis photo captures the Moon, Saturn, and Venus shining above city lights in California during twilight. The bright lunar crescent is overexposed, with Saturn about 4 degrees to its upper right and Venus another 2 degrees to the right. Taken near Indio, it shows the city lights of Indio and Palm Springs. This kind of celestial alignment offers a dramatic view for stargazers.
