    The waxing crescent moon lines up to Jupiter (bottom) and Venus (top), over Tokyo, Japan, March 26, 2012. Venus-Jupiter conjunctions occur roughly every 13 months, but this one was the best conjunction for several years to come for viewers in the Northern Hemisphere. Although it may look like a shooting star the streak in the bottom of the photo is actually a C-130 Hercules photographed using a five second time exposure.
