Our local Science Museum has Sky Night once a month. They do a presentation of the stars as seen in our area in the Imax. After a presentation in the Imax theater, which is pretty cool even for those like me who are not into astrology, they present an opportunity for the average Joe to view the stars. After dark, on the lawn out front, volunteers bring their super duper telescopes and aim it for the sky. We have seen an unbelievable close up view of the moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Saturn is by far the coolest to see. The rings are amazing. It's amazing to see something way out there that God created.
Anyway, Jupiter was close by the moon for a couple of nights. It was very easy to see it out there without any form of telescope. It was so bright. Unfortunately, the night I was at home with the camera turned out to be partly cloudy. The following night, it was clear and Jupiter was so bright but I was visiting with my mom and didn't have my camera with me.
I totally forgot to post this when you could visibly see it but apparently forgot until just now when I was uploading more pictures. The picture doesn't do it justice. It was brighter than any star... which are there, you just can't see them in this picture.
