This is a picture of the Grand Canyon taken on March 26. Off in the distance, keeping the canyon alight is the moon along with the planet Venus. In the foreground, the Colorado River sparkles in the Moon's light as it travels through the canyon as seen from the southern rim. On this date, wonders of the night sky included the compact Pleiades and V-shaped Hyades star clusters poised just above the Moon. Bright planet Jupiter is below the closer Moon/Venus pairing, near the western horizon.
