See it on NASA's siteThe morning sky over Veszprem Castle in Hungary on September 18 featured a gathering of the Moon, three planets, and a bright star. Mercury and Mars were close to the eastern horizon, while brilliant Venus shone near the top of the frame. The star Regulus, the brightest in Leo, appeared next to a waning crescent Moon. This beautiful conjunction was visible along the ecliptic plane.
