A rare sight.
Moon, Venus and Mars came together last night for a rare celestial treat called a conjunction. Venus was at its closest point to the Moon with Mars also visible.
If you were out and about you might have spotted it, but if not, have a look at this timelapse captured by Donegal man
Peteso Cannon.
He explains what you're looking at, "Venus crosses the top right corner followed by Mars at the end again in the top right corner."

A few Irish people on Twitter also saw the conjunction.
