I am green with jealousy (in a nice way)!!!!! The moon and Jupiter are clearly visible here with the naked eye.. was using my binoculars to check it out. Even with all the light pollution it's still pretty cool. I bet in a less light polluted area with an actual telescope it's AWESOME! Yep, I'm getting greener by the minute  |

Thank you! I was shooting my ass up I-95 at 3:00 this morning and wondering what that bright thing by the moon was. I forgot to look it up when I got home. It was pretty awesome to see and I thanked God they weren't doing construction tonight (for a frickin' change) so I could check it out.

Make sure you get your telescope out this Wednesday night, the 20th, oldcoyote. In addition to Jupiter, there will be several other planets aligning up with earth and the moon will be a greenish tint. Next time this occurs will be 420 years, in the year 2436. It will be a very rare sighting. |

If you checked out Jupiter and the Moon last night, check it out tonight, you may be surprised how far the Moon moved over night.

No need for a telescope this coming Sunday to see this!  Because it is posted on the Internet, it must be true.  |
