These two planets [Jupiter the bright one!] are current less than a 1/2 degree apart - as mentioned in Stargazing Live last week   |

It's Niburu! It's Planet X!
No... it's just Jupiter and Uranus. Yeah, my friend has been getting very jumpy about this one lately. He won't believe me when I say it's only Jupiter.
Nice picture. I wonder why there's so much glare though? I don't use telescopic equipment so I don't know how this stuff works. |

The eye has a much greater dynamic range than the camera so this glare effect would not be seen visually  | | |
