Actually, it COULD be Jupiter. Jupiter sets a little after midnight, depending on where you are on Earth, and with atmospheric lensing (I think that’s the term), it could look bigger and brighter than normal.

Well there were two planets in the vicinity. The second planet IMHO was Jupiter. I’ve seen Jupiter at opposition and it’s pretty impressive.

But this one was much brighter than that.

So who knows? If anyone has a clue, please let me know!
