Dark skies: Venus, Jupiter and the Moon pictured across Wales

Stargazers across Wales were able to witness Venus, Jupiter and the Moon aligned in the night sky on Thursday.

The brightest planets in the night sky were visible during a spectacular celestial event known as a conjunction.

According to the UK Space Agency, the two planets reach their apparent closest point at the start of March when they'll appear to form one point.

Take a look at a selection of the best images as people across Wales looked to the skies.
