Description

A twilight grouping of Venus, faint Mercury and a young Moon.

The unusual feature of this photograph is the total lack of aircraft contrails as the scene overlooks the busy London to North America corridor. The date is 15th April 2010 and the Icelandic Eyjafjallajökull volcano has erupted and caused much of northern Europe to be a no-fly zone while the airborne ash poses a danger to engine turbines.
