Explanation:
Cameras around the globe
pointed skyward this week to
capture the
spectacular conjunction
of a crescent Moon and bright planets Venus and Jupiter.
But astronomer-artist Deirdre Kelleghan
recorded
her observations in
sketches of
the celestial event.
From Greystones, County Wicklow, Ireland, her small telescope
allowed her to follow the
accompanying lunar occultation as a
brilliant Venus disappeared behind the Moon's dark edge, then reappeared
along the bright lunar limb.
Her lovely drawing of the reemergence of Venus was made with
Pastels/Conte on A3 size paper under very cold conditions.
She remarks, "The view as Venus once again sparkled like a
diamond stuck on the moon was stunning."
