Tonight the moon and Jupiter had a close encounter a little past midnight, and I stayed up until midnight trying to get a good photo. First of all, they insinuated it would look like two moons. Well, "they" were exaggerating a lot! More than a lot! It looked like the moon and a big star! But, it was fun. Click here for more information.
 11:10 pm ; no zoom, slower shutter so you can see the trees. |
 11:46 pm; Jupiter at the bottom of the photo, zoomed in. |

11:47 pm; zoomed all the way out so you can see the relationship. Jupiter not easily visible on this smaller image, but click on it to see the larger one and you can see Jupiter just below the moon. Doesn’t really look much closer than it did at 11:10 does it? |
