We have been watching Venus and Jupiter approach one another night after night for weeks.
Then, at last, the evening they meet, the skies are cloudy, alas!
Yet, it made for a ghostly glow around the pair, as if they were gazing through a spectral veil.
The high, frosty clouds also gave the Moon a really cool halo.
So, it proved to be a wondrous night of stargazing, nevertheless.
