Amazing Night Sky in Mangaldan!


This was what we saw in the night sky outside our apartment in May
Our zone leaders sent us a text and asked us "What is that in the sky?" Rick being an astrology buff was outside in a heartbeat. We couldn't believe our eyes! It was truly amazing. When we went outside this is what we say. It looked like a ring with a diamond at the top I thought. The little dot above the black is a planet, we think Venus (we could be wrong of course!)
As soon as we went outside our zone leaders were at our apartment checking it out too. The sister missionaries in Manaoag were on their way to an appointment when they saw it and text the ZL's. We were inside and would have missed it if they hadn't alerted us. There were several of our Filipino neighbors outside looking at it as well. They didn't know what is was and Rick was explaining what he thought it was.
We couldn't get a really good picture of it with our cameras so we found this on line the next day. It said in the article that is was rare. We think it was just the crescent moon with the planet just above it in just the right position. Whatever it was--it was fascinating to watch!!
