In late March the planet Venus could be seen above the beautiful crescent Moon as shown below.
Another exciting event was the conjunction of Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter. These planets aligned in mid-April and I took the following photograph on April 16 around 4:50 a.m. I do not usually get up so early but I figured this was worth it!
And finally, this was the biggest surprise for me! When I directly focused on Jupiter, I was astonished to find that its largest moons were visible and clearly identifiable as distinct bodies around the planet.
