You can see Jupiter now - it’s the bright star above the full moon.

Strangers in the night
Two lonely planets, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

What are the two star-like lights next to the moon tonight?
One is above it to the left and is very bright. The other is directly to the right of it and farther away.

Totally cool picture, Mr. Civilizations! I love Io’s shadow on Jupiter’s clouds.
Hubby got an eyeful when he came home this evening. The moon was risen, and Jupiter was nearby. As he crested the hill near our house, he got a perfect view of the two of them.
He didn’t know which planet it was, but thanks to APOD, I knew and enlightened him when he came in the door.
So thank you again, my friend.

That’s Aldebaran, the bright star in Taurus.

My son told me about Google Sky View. You install it on your android and just point the phone up in the sky. It will map whatever is in the sky with labels. Kinda like GPS but for the stars.

I was wondering that too. It’s pretty neat. Probably it’ll be in an upcoming APoD, or an extra, extra. :’)

The brighter light is Jupiter. The other one is Aldeberan.

There’s an app for the IPhone too. It’s called Night Sky and it’s free. It’s pretty cool and works the same way. It shows you the constellations too.
