Odd Sight Turns Eyes Toward Moon On Friday Night

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- An odd sight in the night sky had people in the Pittsburgh area buzzing on Friday night.

Experts say it's Mars and Venus meeting up with the moon.

According to CBS News, Venus has been moving away from the sun while Mars has been moving towards it, and on Friday night the moon passed by them.

The phenomenon formed a triangle, which was "small enough to fit into a low-power telescope's field of view," the report on CBS News said.
