The Occultation of Neptune by the Moon
It's rare and it happened tonight (Friday, Sept. 2, 2008). Neptune is the farthest planet in our solar system (sorry Pluto), and normally it doesn't share a sight line between us, the moon and itself _ but tonight it did. I took some pictures, for posterity and perhaps a space on a wall in Summer's room, and you can't tell it's happening, but it is. Anyway, the moon looked pretty and somewhere, just grazing its edge is bluish light from Neptune _ 2.68 billion miles away.

Are these the pics you took? Cool.
Yeah. I like taking pictures of the moon. It's pretty much the only thing up in the night sky that isn't a dot.
