The Moon has been aligned with Jupiter and Venus in the night sky this week, delighting sky watchers around the world, from the UK to Ukraine - where it has been hailed as a good omen.
On Wednesday, (February 22) the planets met up with our moon when it was a tiny sliver of a crescent. Similar scenes were repeated in the sky last tonight (Thursday, February 22) - and should also be visible tonight and for the next week or two.
However, as the month goes on, the moon will pass further from the planets. But Jupiter and Venus will move more closely into alignment.
