TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️<p>Solar system quadruplets! (Is it an omen?)</p><p>First photo is in dark morning twilight before Mercury had risen. I like the cirrus in front of the crescent moon. (Brilliant Venus at top center, and faint Saturn right of center.)</p><p>Second photo is in bright twilight, using a shorter/wider lens, but features Mercury in the lower left corner just above the tree line. (Note that I boosted the visibility of Mercury a little bit so that it's easier to see, especially on a small cell phone screen.)</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astrophotography</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Moon</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Mercury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mercury</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Venus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Venus</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Saturn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Saturn</span></a>.</p>
