Jupiter, Venus and the moon form a triangle in the pre-dawn sky on 16 July 2012. The planet at the top is Jupiter, followed by Venus and the crescent moon below.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was treated to another astronomical phenomenon this morning, where the planets Jupiter, Venus and the waning-crescent moon formed a “celestial triangle” in the pre-dawn sky today morning. I had previously read about this occurrence on National Geographic’s website<\/a> but unsure if I would be able to see it in Singapore. So it’s to my surprise and delight when I looked out of the window early this morning and saw the triangle. I quickly grabbed my camera and took a few shots as the sky gradually grew brighter. \u00a0The above is one of the earlier shots.<\/p>\n
