Default Mars, the Moon, and Venus all lined up in a row...



It's interesting for me to mentally step back a few AUs and visualize
the Moon and Earth as tiny orbs all lined up between Mars and Venus.

Last night a clear sky invited me to take a peek at Lovejoy near 41 Ari.
Although a "cloudy" object appeared in my 7X35 binoculars it lacked the
characteristic green color that appears in photos. Perhaps it was too
slight a shade for me to see.
