On the night between tuesday and wednesday this week, Monica Tvede took a very intersting picture of the night sky. She posted it on the Facebook pages on Storm.no ( a norwegian weather company ) and asked for help :puzzled: ..it turned out that on that very night the moons of Jupiter was placed exactly like that, so the mystery was solved.. :nod:

Jupiter & 4 moons....

Late tuesday night, november 8, a huge astroide ,2005 YU55, will pass the Earth only about 320000 km away. In fact it will pass closer to the earth than the distance from the earth to the moon :shock:

Edit: The Astroide 2005 YU55 was passing the earth last night, and here is a link to the first movie of it:
