Twittering the Moon: Anyone know what that star is next to the moon?

Actually it’s not a star – it’s the planet Venus…

Last night (February 27th 2009) I saw a really bright “star” next to the moon and wondered what it was.  I wondered if twitter would tell me, so I did a twitter search for “star next to the moon.” Of course, not only did twitter have an answer verified by hundreds of people, but it beautifully illustrated the thoughts of people around the world looking up in wonder at that same bright star in the sky – an age-old philosophical musing suddenly and poignantly jolted into the realm of the tangible.  For those of us who still think Twitter is a pointless waste of time, I hope this example provokes some curiosity.

To really hit this idea home for you – I’m taking it a step further.  Here is a video of photos posted on Flick.  These were all taken on February 27th 2009 looking at the moon and Venus from all around the world.
