Moon & Saturn Setting


 
The Moon and Saturn (2.5° apart) could be seen setting about an hour after sunset. Saturn is the bright "star" to the left and above the moon. A time-lapse movie of the setting pair includes numerous airplanes landing and departing airports in the southern California region.
