Go outside and have a look at the conjuction of the Moon and Jupiter if you have clear skies. Stunning view here.

Venus was looking grand earlier this evening too.

Venus may still be just above the horizon also

Here's a pic I got from the conjunction back in November

I noticed there was a planet or star near the moon earlier, didnt know it was jupiter, its clear here now, certainly worth a closer look.

Last night was the first night my girls have been able to use their telescope. Their faces said it all when I told them which planet it was. I'm assuming that there was one of the moons in view as well. It does look really bright at the moment.

I assume filters have been considered in this thread and ditched?
