The three planets came together to form a perfect trifecta in the night sky.
Skygazers across the world were treated to a clear view of the crescent Moon, Jupiter and Venus on Wednesday evening - with all three celestial bodies seen in alignment. The three planets came together to form a perfect trifecta in the night sky. This conjunction was such a treat to people that they couldn't help but capture the rare occurrence on their devices and share it online.
Taking to Twitter, one astrophotographer, Andrew McCarthy, shared a time-lapse of the celestial objects moving in sync while clouds framed them perfectly as they set in. Mr McCarthy even shared a picture of the rare occurrence and wrote, "Tonight's Conjunction of the Moon, Jupiter and Venus (In that order, left to right). The clouds finally gave way just in time to get this shot. Our sky is absolutely beautiful."
