Smiling Moon over Bangkok

Posted by Josef Essberger on January 12, 2009

What can it mean? The Moon is smiling over Thailand. I took this photo on 1st December 2008 around 7pm in Bangkok. In fact this is a rare astronomical phenomenon known as “Conjunction of Moon, Venus and Jupiter”. The three brightest objects in the sky over Bangkok and parts of Thailand form a “smiling face”. This phenomenon will not recur until 2012. conjunction: a coming together The Moon is a satellite of the planet Earth. Venus and Jupiter are planets.
