Cheers in advance

There will be will be a cresent moon,flanked by Venus and Jupiter,all will be visible with the naked eye which dosen't happen very often.......i think....if it's a clear sky...possibly.

How it looked in Western Australia

 

 

By the time we see it the moon will be in between.

 

This looks good too: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1549173.ece

I can see the brighter one, and the moon, but due to street lights around me can't see the other.

 

Which one am I looking at so I can tick it off in my 'I-Spy' book please?

[saint lard]

pretty impressive cresent moon,one of them is really bright and the other is also well illuminated.

 

If you are looking at the moon,pretend its a clock face,one of them is at one o'clock the other is at five 'oclock and what appears very close to the moon.

Still trying to work out which is which though.

[saint lard]

From reading about it and deducing what i can the bright one,which is higher in the sky is Venus.

Therefore the other is Jupiter,which started of higher than Venus but as time progresess sinks lower and lower in the sky and appears to draw closer to the moon.

Cheers for this guys. The two planets were impressive in the sky about 3 days ago, and this evening as I got home at around 615pm local (1415 your time) the crescent and the planets were lined up like a lopsided smiley.

 

Of course, no mention in the press today about it so now I know what it was that made me go - oh wow that's cool.

 

Cheers. Should google more I guess!
