Title:
Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Phoenix
Explanation:
Before a relaxing sunrise, the sky begins to glow with unusual delights. Such was the view from Papago Park [ http://expedia.msn.…] in Phoenix [ http://www.ci.phoen…], Arizona [ http://www.state.az…] this April. The glittering objects visible in this photograph [ http://www.psiaz.co…] are, from lower left to upper right: Phoenix, our Moon [ http://www.seds.org…], Venus [ http://www.hawastso…], and Jupiter [ http://emma.la.asu.…]. Such proximity is somewhat unusual. Jupiter will be visible in the evening sky [ http://www.skypub.c…] through the rest of the year, while Venus can be seen in the early morning sky during the month of September [ http://www.skypub.c…].
