As I was working on my loading corral rebuild this evening here is the sunset I saw.
Then the crescent moon along with Venus and Jupiter came out. I hope you got to see it as the three won't be this close for many years.

Yep, noticed something wierd when geo caching the other night at dusk...and got this from my daughter later that night
WASHINGTON (AP) -- It's not just families that are getting together this Thanksgiving week. The three brightest objects in the night sky - Venus, Jupiter and a crescent moon - will crowd around each other for an unusual group shot.
Starting Thanksgiving evening, Jupiter and Venus will begin moving closer so that by Sunday and Monday, they will appear 2 degrees apart, which is about a finger width held out at arm's length, said Alan MacRobert, senior editor at Sky and Telescope magazine. Then on Monday night, they will be joined by a crescent moon right next to them, he said.
Look in the southwestern sky around twilight - no telescope or binoculars needed. The show will even be visible in cities if it's a clear night.
See Ya
My pics will not come out like these tho...good job!
