On the morning of October 17, the moon was above bright Venus, closer than it had been the day before. In this image from Hope Carter in Martin, Michigan, you can see 2 fainter “stars” to the right of the moon. The upper one is really another planet, Mars, and the lower one is a true star, Zavijava in the constellation Virgo.
Here’s a closer look at the October 17 moon and Mars, from Dennis Chabot.
October 17 moon, Mars and Venus by Greg Diesel-Walck. He wrote: “I went out very early on the coldest morning so far of autumn.”
Mimi Ditchie caught the moon high above Venus on the morning of October 16, 2017. She was at See Canyon Road, near Avila Beach, California.
Bottom line: Photos of the moon, Mars and Venus, October, 2017.
