   After several days of heavy rain in Taipei, the weather finally cleared
   up on the morning of May 29, 2022. The eastern sky during the  early
   morning was very lively this past spring and early summer.  Jupiter
   and  Mars were in proximity to each other, and shiny  Venus was
   just below them. At 4:19 a.m. (local time), the sliver of the
    waning crescent Moon, with only 2.3% illuminance, rose above the
   mountains at lower left. See the two insets for more detail. Click
