Waning Crescent meets Planet Uranus
This morning was something special for the sky watchers as the sky was crystal clear after a long while and to add to its beauty waning crescent came in a very close conjunction with the planet Uranus. Both these celestial bodies were mere 2-3 degrees apart in the sky.
Planets Uranus and Neptune are also part of th rare planetary alignment that will continue to grace the morning skies for 2 more mornings till the moon farewells the eastern skies.
