Astonomy Moon Venus

On the morning of May 21st a lovely display appeared in the morning sky just before sunrise. A conjunction of three solar system objects created the skyshow, forming a nearly perfect equilateral triangle. From upper left is the waning crescent moon, Venus, and the lower left apex of the triangle a faint Mars. The moon will move on, but Venus and Mars will be in the morning sky the rest of the month.
