So large in the sky tonight as it is the closest for 59 years. Saturn also visible in the south west and Mars to the north-east, with a clear red tinge to it. Worth going outside for a look if it’s clear where you are.

It was very clear here in the west of Ireland yesterday, so big and bright compared to everything else in the sky.

Omg just saw it! Amazing!

Coldhandscoldheart · 26/09/2022 23:37

Thank you! I’ve just been to look & can see something very bright south east, so I’m going to say I’ve seen it. Binoculars didn’t help much, everywhere else, cloud.
also morning bright thing is south west not south east Blush

Nice and bright and one moon visible close to the left if using binoculars. Thanks OP!

This shows you where Jupiter's moons are each day, as in, right now...

Thanks @Qisk will download that app.

We gave away our telescope recently, but we have some binoculars.
