One of the advantages to living in rural Austria this month is being able to see many stars in the very dark night.
Another awesome thing is seeing this cosmic trio for the last few mornings on my way to the chapel as the community of St. Francis gathers for 6 a.m. prayer and meditation.
Near the moon is Jupiter and below is Venus pairing with Mars!
As St. Francis said in this Canticle of the Sun --
Laudato si, mi Signore, per sora Luna e le stelle:
in celu l'ài formate clarite et pretiose et belle.
Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars;
in the heavens You have made them bright, precious and beautiful. .
(Linking to SkyWatch Friday.)
Also see The Night Sky Guy about this phenomenon.
