APOD 1.8

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap091022.html
This picture interested me because it showed the two things that we were asked to observe in astronomy class for the past two weeks. It shows the three planets, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn, and it shows the moon. The reason that these objects are of interest currently is because they are all very close to each other in the sky, currently. In the picture, it shows mercury very close to the horizon and the sun.
