Cool! I will look for it, if the clouds depart.

It’s a bonanza out there! I have APOD as my home page, but I hadn’t read it today. My buddy called and told me about this...I just went out and stood on a snow bank in back of my house with my elbow on the roof to stabilize...just beautiful!

Then the space station went over, and boy, was it bright, North west to southeast, straight overhead, horizon to horizon in three minutes.
Then looking to the east, I think that was Jupiter, and I could see four moons at about the 6-7 o’clock position!

Woo hoo!

Been watching since Sunset. Very nice view.

Unfortunately, it will be cloudy here tomorrow for the closest approach of Mars and Venus.

Such is life.

I just shot this pic of the conjunction from my home in Florida.

I saw it in the front window of my car as I drove home, a good sight.
