Rain and clouds here in Sedona this morning. But a momentary break in the clouds gave me a fleeting glimpse of a magnificent conjunction of Mars, Jupiter and our moon. The planets, Saturn and Mercury were also near but were hopelessly obscured by clouds.
Our moon, this morning, was in a Waning Crescent phase with an Illumination of 29%. March 18, 2020.

Reduced "noise" and adjusted brightness a bit in Adobe.
