Spectacular Sky Scene Monday Evening

Spectacular Sky Scene Monday Evening

Every once in a while, something will appear in the night sky that will attract the attention of even those who normally don't bother looking up. It's likely to be that way on Monday evening, Dec. 1.

A slender crescent moon, just 15-percent illuminated, will appear in very close proximity to the two brightest planets in our sky, Venus and Jupiter.

People who are unaware or have no advance notice will almost certainly wonder, as they cast a casual glance toward the moon on that night, what those two "large silvery stars" happen to be? Sometimes, such an occasion brings with it a sudden spike of phone calls to local planetariums, weather offices and even police precincts. Not a few of these calls excitedly inquire about "the UFOs" that are hovering in the vicinity of our natural satellite.

I love lazing outside at night and watching the stars, planets and satellites go by (and the occasional UFO). I can't wait till monday night!!! I live outside of my major city so I get the advantage of beautiful skies.

Also apparently the Earth is going to be so shiny that the dark part of the crescent moon will be glowing a bluish-grey hue.

I wonder how many people are going to go crazy thinking they are UFO's?
