We were in the middle of a desert outside the city and it was so dark, making the sky look so beautiful. It was a delight to see such spectacular night show and I've read it will not be like that again until another 15 years! I feel so lucky and blessed. On the other note, looking at the sky makes me feel so small. So small in the sense that I am humbled by God's massive creation. We saw it!

Like Julie, I can't recommend The Star of Bethlehem too strongly. It's the most awesome video... we order it last year, and we were just blown away by the scientific research and Christian content.

I think in 2012 you may get a similar view. But if you're in Western Europe, especially Britain, there was a very, very special sight last night that won't be seen again until 2032...the moon passed in front of Venus; called the Venus occultation (concealing). A game of celestial hide-and-seek, with Venus reappearing on the other side of the moon. <b>Wickle</b>, hopefully you live in the country...the stars out here are a.maze.ing. <b>Julie</b>, I haven't seen that movie but will check it out, thanks for the info! <b>Dana</b>, yes, the moon was the icing on the cake! <b>Becky</b>, cool, glad you saw it!!

And I was thinking about how it looked like something out of a storybook. I had no idea what it was until I seen it on your and another's post. Thanks for sharing. I now know I wasn't the only one who was enjoying the view. I did notice it. And I was thinking about how it looked like something out of a storybook.

We've been enjoying Venus and Jupiter the last couple weeks, and the moon's presence was a nice treat. It was beautiful.

Thanks for the heads-up. I used to be a bit of a stargazer, but I drifted away from it. This might be a good opportunity to get back outside. That is so cool! Thanks for the heads-up.
