Jupiter & moon
 

Tonite are 10 degrees apart in the sky. Doesn't happen often.

Did you see the meteor that was supposed to pass close to earth tonight?

Thanks for the great info

they are so close I can smell uranus.

sweet or sour ?

nebes is sour for sure :wave:

I did not see the asteroid. I looked also. I figured you'd be able to see it but I could not. Had trees in the way of parts also.

I read you needed at least a 6" optical telescope to see the asteroid.

yea I think your right. They said a well equipped backyard astronomer. That rules out naked eye. I was out looking anyway, even though the sky was pisser clear I didn't see it. I have been regularly seeing satellites in the mornings though. Gotten good at spotting them.

Also visible tonite

Just saw a brilliant meteor streak from overhead NE to SW for almost 1/3 of the sky... Best one I've ever seen.

I think that is one of the clearest brightest moons I've ever seen. Tomorrow is full moon I think?

Insane sky right now Scott.

Love using Stellarium to id stars and planets.Very cool program.I sit outside and then run in to see what it is I'm looking at.I've learned a lot.
