*_ash_* Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 And Jupiter (I believe) has just crossed underneath the moon this week). All three together looked great. Wish I had a decent camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 A couple of weeks ago there were 5 planets visible in the night sky. Not all in the same segment but you could see them all during the course of the night. Earlier tonight driving back from the station, looking from Woodbank Quarry out over the valley, the sky was darkest blue, and Venus and the crescent Moon looked absolutely stunning!

Longy67 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 If you have a smartphone or tablet, you can download Google Sky Maps, great free app, just point you phone to the sky and you can see what is up there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
