Hail the Queen !

I am referring to none other than Venus herself !

Heading from buona vista mrt station towards the bus stop nearby, I spotted  Venus glowing radiantly in the west sky in backdrop of blueish hues, right in the middle of a "storm" of sparse black clouds... all behind a couple of sky scrapers in construction. It seemed to me that Venus was in the limelight for a reason the ancient skies ecstatic about !

It was as if Venus was gloating about something that did not make sense to me then...Googling now revealed that the proud lady is occulting both Jupiter and Saturn this thursday - the first since 0401BC !!  Awesome ...ain't it ? :D

The Incredible Orion

The incredible view of the Orion from Raffles Hall ! My favourite constellation :)
