Look up now, Jupiter the Moon and Saturn are lined up (Sunday 11 August)

Sky at 22:31 ACST on Sunday, August 11 looking north-west as seen from Adelaide. Jupiter the waxing moon and Saturn form a straight line (similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia, click to embiggen).

I you go out now and look north-west you will see a beautiful line-up of Jupiter, the Moon and Saturn. So lovely after all the cloud and torrential rain. Also presages tomorrow nights occultation of Saturn.
