MOON & VENUS TRAILS
 

On April 19, 2007, the crescent moon and Venus made a beautiful pair in the western sky at dusk.   This long exposure image shows how the pair appears to drift westward along with the starsthe result of our own planet's rotation.  The wispy blobs that appear most prominently along the moon's path are clouds that drifted into the picture and became temporarily illuminated by moonlight.
