    Dear IL's,

    If you are reading this today (DEC 01), then rush out and watch the night sky. Jupiter and Venus are right next to each other and just below the crescent moon. I tried to take a picture, but it turned out a little blurry.

    hi nivedi,

    I forgot about it though had got a email regarding the same sometime backbonkbonk. it is a phenomenon that would happen only in 2052 next that is the three of them together, though venus and moon can be seen together on new year's eve.

    so for all those who have not had the opportunity, yahoo has given a delight with good photos..enjoy.:thumbsup
