If it's clear where you are go out and look at it because it's absolutely beautiful. Proper crisp crescent with Venus beside. My phone camera can't do it justice unfortunately!

I've been looking at them through the window, absolutely beautiful!

It really lifted me up after a long and pretty crap day! It's the best thing about the crisp cold clear nights.

Thank you OP for telling me its Venus. I saw it mentioned on a TC show this morning, and that a planet was visible next to the moon- but they never said which one! Stunning.

QuestionableMouse · 03/01/2025 19:43

This was just shared on my town's Facebook page. Absolutely stunning!

No problem! There's an app called Sky Map and you can find all sorts of things by holding your phone up and moving it about!

If you're looking at the moon, do a 150°(ish) turn left and you can see Jupiter.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 03/01/2025 19:55

Thank you.

Thanks. I found it fascinating that I was talking to my friend over 200 miles away and we could both see it out of our lounge windows.
