    It was fantastic, my granddaughter came running in to get me. Her mother and uncle pointed it out to her along with Jupiter. Turned into a learning lesson for a 5 year old regarding the solar system. I am sure one she will remember for a long time. My daughter remembers nights when she was young when we would wrap up in blankets to go outside at 1:00 in the morning to see whatever was going on. A nice tradition to continue through the family generations.

    This does happen occasionally. Very pretty.

    My neighbor phoned last night, with an ominous foreboding in their voice, expressing wonder and concern over this phinomenon (phenominon).

    I saw this last night and thought I was seeing things. It was quite unique.

    The real show was Jupiter within 1 degree of the Moon at the top/left.
