IMAGE ( [ link to i.imgur.com] ) My bad if it's not venus and something dumb ... it never moved though - the whole hour long drive to work - crazy ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29677858 If the photo was taken shortly ago, it's Jupiter. Will this thing aling somehow on 12/21?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29677858 No. There is a conjunction at Dec. 26. - Jupiter and Moon just 1° apart. . Quoting: Hydra In a day and time of the free availability of such things as Stellarium it is almost unbelievable that people are still having problems knowing just what some of the most major things in the night sky are, The Sun, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter in particular. The photo is from yesterday, not this morning. The "Star" was/is Venus. In the meantime, at that time yesterday, Jupiter was way in the west and very close to setting. You can't see it in that photo but also up there in that region was/is Saturn, going up and to the south, and a bit further up was/is to be seen Spica. Today, if you were really lucky with a very clear horizon, you would have seen Mercury between Venus and the Moon. got to [ link to www.stellarium.org] and download it, perhaps.
