I am here in florida and actually came here to see if anyone else was seeing it as well. Been there with it since dusk and has been moving with the moon this entire time. Once I get home I want to take our high powered scoop out and look closer |

[ link to astronomynow.com (secure)] All four of Jupiter’s large Galilean moons — Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto — are also well presented tonight. While you’re looking for the GRS, note that moons Io and Europa pass each other at 8:09pm GMT, separated by just three arcseconds. The changing relative positions of the moons will be fascinating to watch at high powers — if seeing permits, naturally. On a personal note, my son thought it was the moon's moon |
