One such event happened recently on Dec 1st when the moon, Venus and Jupiter got positioned together in the evening sky within a few degrees of each other.
In fact, the moon even eclipsed Venus for 2 hours.
Unfortunately, the London weather didn't allow me to enjoy it on the D-day.
So I got a picture before the show on Nov 25th and another 2 days after the show on Dec 3rd as the moon had already distanced itself from the 2 planets by 26 degrees (the moon does a full 360 degrees in the sky in 28 days or 13 degrees per day).
