…and it even has a mustache! 
In the past few days, the planets Venus (left) and Jupiter (right) aligned with a crescent moon in an event known as a conjunction. According to National Geographic, the next visible Venus-Jupiter conjunction will be on March 14, 2012, but the two planets will be farther apart in the sky.
Here are some of the other pics I liked (click on thumbnail for larger version):

Saw it in a newspaper … truely a work of art …..
I’ve been observing this at night.
It’s truly wonderful to view at.
I just didn’t have any idea that it was the Jupiter right there. LOL!!
That’s awesome! My Earth and Space class was going to watch it but it was covered in Philly 
I saw that in Brazil!
Its sooo beautiful. I just read today online about a supernova. A star bursting.
I saw that from a balcony in Charlottetown! except from where I was it looked like an isosceles triangle, but it was still transcendent!
