Venus and Jupiter conjunction - a chance video

Last night, we had a whim to set up a video camera to record the sunsetting over the hill which our garden overlooks. We have been meaning to do this for some time now, but always seem to be too preoccupied doing one thing or another around the house or in the garden.

We are really glad that we did set up the camera last night, as upon reviewing the footage we came across something most bizarre.  By pure fluke, chance, coincidence or fate - any term you wish to call it - we had pointed the camera directly at the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter.

We had no idea that this event was occurring, nor knew what we had captured until we turned to the internet.  Fundamentally, we had captured Venus and Jupiter sharing a perceived location in space.  

How cool is that!  Check out our video below and see what you think of our chance capture! ​
