Read about this upcoming planetary alignment in the “Astronomy” magazine that I brought. So, right around sunset I head out to the Maintenance Hangar to get a clear view of the western horizon. My expectations were high and I was definitely not disappointed. With all the dust and haze in the sky, the crescent moon appeared to hang there as if it was painted onto the sky’s background. Keep in mind that the crescent moon is also an important symbol in Muslim culture and given my location it was all the more surreal. Venus and Jupiter were also nearby and in conjunction with the moon the trio created a perfect alignment. Finally, add to this scenario our helicopters in the foreground in silhouette – and I had an absolutely stunning vision that was seared into my memory banks.
