Conjunction

Conjunction
I'm not sure how well this photo will display on the blog, but on iPhoto I can easily see the conjunction of Venus, Mercury, and Saturn. On June 27, Mercury paired up, leaving roughly one tenth of a degree between them (extremely close). The two planets were absolutely stunning as viewed with the eye, with Mercury situated to the left of Venus. Saturn (extremely faint in the twilight and unlikely to be resolved in this photo I'm posting) was visible a few degrees below Mercury and Venus.
