Moon-Mars Conjunction Over the Light-Polluted City
As I prepare to observe the Orionid Meteor Shower last October 22, a nice celestial pairing of the 22% waning crescent Moon and the tiny planet Mars greeted my view. The two were just roughly 8 degrees apart. Unfortunately, the glow from the light-polluted city made the 1.2 magnitude Mars (on the upper left of the image) difficult to notice with naked eye.
