Cloudy Conjunction

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.
