Moon Eats Planet Party

If you switch back and forth between today's LPOD and yesterday's you can see the movement of the Moon from upper right to occulting Jupiter just between Venus and the Pleiades. But this image wasn't to provide an illustration of orbital motion, it is just so wonderful that I wanted to share it. This could be the cover for a new book on observing. What they saw through the scopes was this view below.
