Fotograf Göran Strand of Sweden wrote: “Last night when I flew back home from the Faroe Islands I had the most beautiful outside my airplane window. A crescent moon and planet Venus conjunction that was with me for a great deal of the trip. So here’s my first ever moon/Venus selfie … through the airplane window at 10,000 meters (30,000 feet) above the ground.”

View larger. | Here are the very young moon to the upper right of Mars, with bright Venus above, on Saturday night – March 21, 2015. Why is Mars in a different position with respect to the moon in this photo than in the photo above? It’s because, in the hours that passed between sunset on the U.S. east coast and sunset on the U.S. west coast … the moon moved in its orbit around Earth. Photo submitted by Charles Murphy in Oswego, NY. Thanks, Charles!
Robert Kelly in Las Vegas, Nevada caught this shot with a little Kodak Easyshare ZD710. Isn’t it cool? Thanks, Robert!
