Smile Smiling Moon :-)


Here's an upload of the photograph taken by me of the smiling moon, with Jupiter and venus as its eyes.



Scientists say it won't happen again till 2012.

It was awesome. I didn't had my digicam with me, when I saw it while returning home. Later after an hour, I reached home,grabbed my camera & took a shot.

The pic came out with an orange tinge(ubuntu human theme colour). The planets came in very dim though.
