APOD 3.6

February 26 2015
Love and War by Midnight

This picture appealed to me because it is another observance that anybody can see. A lot of the images on APOD are images that most people cannot obtain but this picture is one that anybody could obtain. It shows the Moon, Venus, and Mars being very close together. The picture was recorded from Charleston, South Carolina, USA. The comments state that it was a three second exposure that had the Earth's light illuminating the otherwise dark crescent moon. All of the objects have moved on from this occurrence with the Moon continuing with its cycle, Venus moving westward, and Mars moving eastward.
