Though the skies may be a bit cloudy in some parts of the world, it did not prevent our awesome readers from taking a shot of the wonderful view of the conjunction of planets Venus and Jupiter. Here are some amazing photos of the planetary conjunction.
Above is a close-up image of the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter as seen by Kevin Jung in West Michigan on March 12, 2012. The image was shot using a Canon 40D DLSR piggybacked to a equatorally-driven telescope, a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens at 200mm, f/8.0. It was a 30 second exposure. Here’s a link to Kevin’s Flickr page.

近日七八时，抬头仰望西方天空，可看到金星及木星并列，金星为天上除月亮之外，最亮的一颗星。再往天顶搜寻，可看到猎户座 。
