Details:
#1: The Moon greets Saturn tonight, the first classical planet it has encountered in this year's great planetary parade. There seem to be fewer stars in the photo tonight (vs. Pluto's photo from 2 nights ago) despite the Moon being at a lesser phase, probably because of dust in the air from gusty winds earlier in the afternoon.
