Starting things off with this amazing pic of the planets vibing with each other over Waikiki, Hawaii.

The two planets even put on a spectacular show over the Mojave Desert in California.

This shot was taken over Melbourne, Australia, using a telescope.

The Rocky Mountains in Colorado also turned out to be an amazing spot to catch the incredible celestial event.
