    Clouds are just starting to come over here. I've just come back from a run in the dark and it looked amazing.

    Can't see the moon from here either (or the garden step apparently, which I just fell over). Quit hoarding it!

    I saw it on my way home! I thought that bright star might not be a star, it's too big and bright. Oooh, I've seen Jupiter.?

    We went to a local forest at the beginning of October where the local astronomical society had set up telescopes. I was amazed to find this huge big star was Jupiter, the hazy splodge was the Milky Way and that there are men out there who know the name of every minute sparkle of light.

    Really opened my eyes to it all. Sadly, can't see the moon here now.

    I thought it was Venus at the bottom right with Jupiter at the top right as Venus was eclipsed by the moon tonight for an hour? It's going to be visible for a couple of days too.

    [sings] He's so bright and milky white
    Shining down upon the ground
    He's so bright, milky white
    Shining down upon the ground

    Everybody look at the moon
    Everybody seeing the moon
    The moon is bright, he's milky white
    Everybody look at the moon [/sings]

    Hey! I did a song. Jupiter, I did a song. You ain't got one. Yeeah! Oh, I feel sick...

    I am glad you posted this, as I was wondering what it was.

    It just looked so weird the moon having such a large bright 'star' close to it.

    thank you

    Thanks BGB for posting that, it was lovely and clear here in Kidderminster this evening at 5.30pm and the moon just looked as if it had a little diamond twinkling at the bottom of it.

    We all wondered what it was as I'd never seen a "star" there before.

    It was verry purrdy

    It was cloudy where I was last night, but will it be visible for a few nights? or just last night?

    It was very pretty. Saw it best about 5pm when we came out of a shop and the children saw it first. Was going to take a photo but by the time I got home it had started misting over ☹️
