Monday's parting shot

Felton Davis of the Second Avenue Star Watchers shared this:
Venus and the Moon were low over the Avenue tonight, and disappeared behind Avalon and the Public Hotel soon after sunset.
The top pic shows the view from Second Avenue and Third Street ... while the shot below is what people saw through the telescope he had set up on the corner (click on the images for a better view!) ...
And on the horizon (so to speak) on Nov. 18 into Nov. 19 ... the Full Moon in the constellation Taurus will undergo a partial — but almost total — eclipse, per Felton.

  1. This is so cool. Thank you, Felton, for sharing your telescope and knowledge of the wondrous sky. It's things like this that remind me why I'm glad to live in this neighborhood.
