Here is a picture of the moon taken at 6:57 PM. If you look at the part of the moon that is not lit, you can see the outline of the rest of the moon as well as some of it's craters. Sorry for the mirrored image above the moon.
Tonight you could see not only Venus, like yesterday, but you can also see Jupiter. Here is a picture of the Moon and Venus taken at 7:07 PM. Sorry that the moon is a bit blurry. And don't be confused by the photo, it is not a full moon. You can find Venus in the left-hand corner.
Here is a photo of the Jupiter taken at 7:04
WOW that first picture is so cool. Is that a cloud? I believe what you are calling Jupiter is actually Venus?
ReplyDelete"Venus is often considered the Evening Star or the Morning Star, depending on which time of day it is up and dominating the twilight. For example, until late May 2012, Venus will appear as a brilliant yellow star in the evening sky, right after sunset. Located 25° above the southwestern horizon half an hour after sundown, it remains on view until after 8 P.M. local time."
Jupiter is the bright star almost directly overhead. When the sun is setting the first two stars you see are Venus and Jupiter. Check them out.
I am so excited by your blog. NICE WORK
