The moon tonight

[QuestionableMouse]

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!

The darker part of the moon is in fact lit up by the light of earth, which I find amazing too!

It's lovely, it's a shame a photo doesn't do it justice

It is beautiful.

DD and I saw it on the way home tonight. It looks amazing. The stars are looking incredible tonight.

DD calls Venus "Daddy's star". DP died four years ago and every time she sees it she says he is keeping an eye on us.

I noticed while driving. It is amazing 🤩 good thread OP

I made DP come and gawp at it with me earlier. Fantastic!

It's stunning. I was watching it from the passenger seat on our 2 hour drive home this evening, from dusk through to full dark. Beautiful.

Yes it's incredible, was really clear from about 3pm when I went on a frosty walk with my son, and it's just got more and more beautiful.

It’s bloody freezing though.🥶🥶🥶
But beautiful night sky.🌙

It's stunning, what the star though?

It's Venus. I think

Yes, I went out at 5.30 and saw it, stunning. My photos are poor quality but I've seen some amazing photos on FB

Skyview Lite (app) has some etheral music that accompanies you as you hold your phone up to the heavens.

Mars is to the South East, 45 degrees high. Jupiter is to the
'top right' at about 65 degrees.

Planets in our solar system do not 'blink' on a clear night. That is the main difference between stars and our planets. I think stars are more awesome though.

Sorry to hear about your dp xx.

what a beautiful way to remember him for your dd

We're very lucky where we live that we can get a good view of the sky without much light pollution. DH & I just went out to look at the stars as it's so rare to get a clear and still night. So beautiful and we managed to see a couple of shooting stars. 3rd & 4th January the Quandrantids meteor shower is visible. I don't think I've ever seen the sky look so clear and beautiful as it does tonight.

It really is beautiful isn't it! I spotted it on the way home I could even see the dark part of the moon, amazing!!

Bless you.

We saw this around 4pm on our walk. It really stood out as it was still light and nothing else in the sky. Googled to see what it was, but wish I'd taken a photo!

It's gorgeous. My friend sent me a photo earlier, just after I'd been gazing at it!

We saw the tiny dot of Saturn last night too! Wonderful

I am in Marrakech and it was a magical sight at sunset, from the rooftop of a riad, with the muezzins going off all around.

I was thinking the same thing. Beautiful.

Venus is a planet, not a star.
