Later on tonight, a rare spectacular will be visible, because the moon, Jupiter, and Venus will line close together. Supposedly, this phenomenon will not occur again until 2052!
Now called “earthshine,” what Leonardo da Vinci once dubbed “the old moon in the young moon’s arms,” or when the full globe of the moon is visible, may also be visible in the night sky.
Furthermore, it has been concluded that Samuel Taylor Coleridge was inspired by this rare occurrence to write the epic, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.”
This alignment may have been visible starting November 29th and ending December 1st, but due to weather conditions, it is probably best to take a good look up at the sky tonight.
If you do take two seconds to look up yonder, blog back. What did you think? Could you see the alignment? What was your reaction? Do you think this will be an artistic inspiration for you?
