withak, you can now be certain. Only objects that can enter the area between the moon and earth can be seen across the face (lighted or darkened) of the moon: meteors, the space shuttle and associated debris, and ET. Thankfully, no planet can do this.

Someone was trying to tell me that you would be able to see Jupiter and Venus centered between the points of the crescent moon. I was pretty sure it wasn't possible for Jupiter and Venus to end up in front of the moon.

Oh that's what that crap was in the sky. Fucking stars. They should get a life and quit hanging around doing nothing like that.

I almost grabbed my camera and took a similar photo but got stuck staring out the window for 20 minutes and forgot to snap the pic. Doh!

It was also a great sight a few nights ago because Venus was directly above Jupiter. Awesome photo!

Link's not working. Also, yep, I saw this driving down Hwy 1 on Sunday evening. Pretty amazingly lovely...
