This picture was taken at about 5:00 am on July 17, 2001 near my home in Colfax, CA. Venus, Saturn, and the red giant star Aldebaran are forming an almost perfect 30-60-90 triangle, while the crescent Moon is in the middle of it all. Saturn is at the top, Venus is on the left, while Aldebaran is on the right.
