When the sky smiled :)


Night sky has always been a delight to me . I always find it divine ,spiritual , enchanting and more. I think nothing but gazing at the sky makes one humble . Those cloudless nights where the countless stars twinkles . It has always been fun to locate the pole stars or the Ursa major(sapta rishi mandala) ... in sky.

But 31st November was no exception but when looking at the sky it was a little unusual to sight two stars which were so close by and so bright , though 1 looked like the morning star Venus the other one i had never seen before so close to Venus and so bright!!! and the fun part was when we a bunch of friends were looking at them , clouds were playing a trick , to make one bright at a time and then suddenly become so dull as to disappear , There were funny thoughts like it being a secret signal :P being conveyed don't know who though ! , it being a UFO . But a little analysis after getting home said it was Jupiter the largest planet and supposedly the king gods in roman and Venus !! And it was forgotten for the day.

It was only next day ie Monday 1st December when me and mom went to terrace for a stroll and as usual looked up the sky , the sight bewitched me it was indeed so beautiful so mysterious and great trick (I'm sure astronomers will completely disagree as it is physics ! But i like to forget the physics part and like to think its some one trying to write a smiley) The three celestial bodies Jupiter Venus and crescent moon which were in the position of a smiley .

After enjoying it for sometime , I immediately rushed to get the camera and here it is I have attached the image.

Two planets which are miles apart appear to be in perfect line to make the beautiful twinkling eyes of the sky and the crescent moon in perfect shape as to show the sky is indeed very happy. Oh ! what a sight to see !!!!!
