Details:
Converging Venus and Jupiter, now only 7° apart, have been sponsoring alone a nice display at evening twilight. Then let the 5.6% illuminated lunar crescent join them and, to top it all, as a most welcomed last-minute surprise, add an amazing set of very bright orange-pink crepuscular rays (beams of sunlight streaming through gaps in clouds) radiating across the western sky and beautifully adorning it. What a delightful treat not to be forgotten ever! I was very glad to have been able to capture that show with my Canon PowerShot SX60 HS camera from 20:34 to 20:42 UT when the Sun itself was already 4° below the horizon. And here I share with you some of my photos. Thank you for your attention!
