Venus returns!

[nytecam]

[Getting the hang of posts + pics here! ] Been months since I've seen Venus in the evening sky but got lucky last night low in gap of rooftops in SW from 1st floor window with handheld cam



Brilliant Jupiter is due south at dusk

Good weather for viewing (at the moment at least) Will try and find them later, presumably around dusk? Should be fun.

I'm hoping the sky stays clear as well, it's always special to see the planets, well I think it is.

I remember the first time I managed to see some of Jupiter's moons, (through binoculars).

Just four or five miniscule white dots close to a slightly bigger white dot in the blackness - but special nevertheless.

You can't help but be awed when looking at the night-time sky. It's only then when you realise what a tiny, insignificant little piece of rock the planet we call home, is, in the overall scheme of the universe.

Can we really be alone? - I for one don't think so.

Regards
Mike.

Here's another shot of Venus - the so called 'evening star' from last night at dusk - it's now easier to find low in the SSW - a less bright planet Jupiter is due south at dusk
