Minors of Solar System, Two Gas Giants & Festival of Earth – Eid Mubarak

After waiting for a whole year, enduring fasting throughout the month, and anticipating eagerly every day, finally, the much-awaited Eid moon was spotted. Disheartened by the cloudy skies since noon and losing enthusiasm to set up the tracker, I found my spirits uplifted when the golden sunlight of the late afternoon reflected on the snowy peaks of the Himalayas. My mind, previously occupied with disappointment, was now captivated by such a splendid sight, even without astrophotography, I couldn't have asked for a more magnificent view before my eyes.
Returning home, I quickly climbed to the rooftop with my camera in hand, capturing the ethereal glow of the imperishable moon amid the backdrop of the cloudy sky. Without much thought, just clicking away on the tripod... and here are the results before you.
Alongside the Eid moon, the two moons of Jupiter and the radiant comet 12/P Pons-Brooks - such a diverse family of celestial bodies in our solar system! Of course, on festive days, it's the children who enjoy the most.
