A triangular conjunction !

The Red knight (Mars) meets the King(Jupiter) and it's guards (Jovian Moons) in the presence of Luna this morning creating a mesmerizing triangle of celestial bodies. We had been blessed with such an amazing sky quality last night that it was crystal clear and the stars were sparkling as if hanging in front of our eyes. Both Jupiter and Mars would be coming close together in a very close conjunction of about 1 degrees seperation on 01-06-22 whereas the planetary parade still going on but drifting apart.

Jupiter at -2 and Mars at +0.72 magnitude with waxing crescent at 27% illumination.
