The crescent
Moon,
Venus, and
Jupiter all appeared together in the early morning hours of April 23rd.
Some locations on
Earth were able to
witness a rare double
conjunction eclipse, where the
Moon occulted both
Jupiter and
Venus at the same time. The
next
double conjunction
eclipse will involve
Mercury and Mars and will occur on February 13, 2056.
