Details:
On Feb 26th Jupiter and the Moon teamed up with Pollux and Castor in the constellation Gemini to form a nice rectangle. Exactly 4 weeks later on Mar 26th the four duplicated their feat: a box with the same size, shape, and place in the sky. The rectangle would've been virtually perfect an hour later at moonset, but only half of Gemini would've been visible above the horizon then and I was trying to get it all. Even as it was, Pollux the twin got a toe, not just a toenail, trimming, but he's immortal and his toes will grow back. Labelled and unlabelled versions.
