Smile in the Sky

COSMIC MESSAGE

The western sky over Brisbane Water, Australia, showed off stunning colors at sunset. It also featured the conjunction of the crescent Moon, Venus, and Jupiter, forming a twilight 'smiley face'. Astronomer Mike Salway braved mosquitos and rain squalls to record this view, capturing the gathering of the two bright planets and Moon.
