Moon and Jupiter (August 6, 2009)
      08/06/09 12:58 PM Attachment (79 downloads)

I was able to view the Waning Gibbous Moon (it was full yesterday) and Jupiter over the western horizon while experiencing intermittent thunderstorms. The pair was striking as they appeared to be floating between cumulus clouds over the western horizon. The Moon was approximately 5 degrees and Jupiter ~10 degrees above the western horizon. I hope that others got a look at the pair as well.
