Today's intriguing picture comes to us courtesy of photographer Rick
Ellis, and he offers the following background info about the image:
"On the evening of Feb. 27, 2009 the Moon and Venus were in
conjunction. They were only a few degrees apart and through that
narrow gap passed an aircraft. A most rare triple conjunction of
sorts. This 5 second exposure was made with a Canon A460."
