Venus and Jupiter in the sky tonight.

Have a look at the moon this evening and you will see Venus just to the left and higher up, Jupiter. Great sight.

Planets visible

Thanks for this, I often look at the skies but rarely know what I'm looking at. Amazing & so bright!

I often wondered what object of beauty I was gazing at...now I have GoogleSky maps, free app, on my phone. Literally point and learn. Fascinating stuff

March 12th Venus & Jupiter will be very close in the west and Mars will be visible in the east. I am taking a telescope to the Clockhouse at 6.30~7.30 if you want to come along providing it isn?t cloudy. See you there.

[PeckhamRose]

Great idea. We have one. Might be best to walk telescope to centre of the park though!

[Chick]

Just a reminder for Monday.

[Chick]

Just a reminder. We will be in the park near the zebra crossing with telescopes & beer.

[Alan Medic]

Any other identifying features to look out for?
