Moon, Venus and Mars on June Solstice.
This beautiful last light view towards Christmas Pass and Transmitter Hill from Murambi Heights in Mutare shows a near vertical Southern Hemisphere alignment of Mars (top), Venus, and the two day old Waxing Crescent Moon above receding late Volcanic Sunset glow. The Gemini star Pollux is about to set behind the shoulder of Transmitter Hill below and the Canis Minor star Procyon shines bright above Christmas Pass on the left.
