Gorgeous Venus-Moon Conjunction Images

[/caption]

A clear night, a crescent Moon, Venus, and an ancient castle. What more could you ever want? Our pal Stuart Atkinson captured these gorgeous images taken over the weekend from Kendal, in Cumbria, England. “An absolutely stunning view, seen from Kendal’s historic, ruined castle. Not another soul around as I enjoyed the spectacle,” Stu wrote. See more of his images below, plus you can see loads more at Spaceweather.com’s gallery.

  1. I tried to observe the occultation with the binoculars in broad daylight, but I couldn’t. 🙁 The Moon’s elongation was 30 degrees.
