Searched to see if a thread has already been made for this [didn't find one]:
CELESTIAL LINE: Last night in Pensacola, Florida, astronomy professor Wayne Wooten photographed a rare Euclidean line-up of the Moon, Venus, Saturn and Regulus
Am watching this. :) On Sunday night the lineup was (left to right) Regulus, Saturn, Venus, crescent moon. Last night the moon was between Venus and Saturn.
During the next 48 hours, the Moon will slide along this line, eclipsing each "point" in succession
In the daytime, my time. :-\

Just recently, Venus was lined up with Castor & Pollux. Interesting that this latest lineup occurred so soon after. :)
