boyst Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Download the Google Sky app on your phone, totally worth it!
CowgirlsFan Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 COOL!!!! The crescent is there too! The crescent is a part of the sorority that I joined in college. Lot's of little stars too. I'm near the flight path of the Dallas Fort Worth airport here in Arlington. It sure is cool seeing planes flying through the moon and the 2 planets!

Just Jack Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Is this the dawning of the age of Aquarius? It's the beginning of the end according to the Mayans.
Doc Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 It's the beginning of the end according to the Mayans. Naw. The calendar just repeats, starting 12/22/12.
/dev/null Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 And if you look up at the sky you might catch a glimpse of Uranus
The Poojer Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 i took this friday with my phone...i thought it was pretty cool to see the two planets aligned like that
Marv's Neighbor Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 It's very impressive! Having lived in Seattle for 25 years, I didn't see the sky very often.
Ramius Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Jupiter and Venus have been dancing for most of the month of march. Catch them together while you can! We were camping on March 9-11, and the 2 were nearly on to of each other. I was almost able to get both of them into the same field of view on my telescope.
dib Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Western sky- Jupiter is below the Moon and Venus is above it.....Mars is in the Eastern sky......very trippy The other night I thought I saw green jets of gas erupting from the Martian surface.

Newtonian, Dobsonian, or Cassegrain?

I was almost able to get both of them into the same field of view on my telescope. i last looked about two weeks ago. i think 3 jupiter moons were visible. i like watching them move as much as the planet itself. Venus, despite it's name, aint much to look at but the alignment is very cool. with that sliver of moon, i'm hoping for some clear nights to try and find some deep space stuff. it's always disappointing to see some faint blur that looks incredible in astrophotographs but it's still very cool

When we had the scope out on the 10th, all 4 were visible.
birdog1960 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Jupiter's moons change nightly. When we had the scope out on the 10th, all 4 were visible. i have a goto scope that i had out that night which was clear and still. i kept requesting hard to find stuff and it would get near them and then shut off. took me til it was too late to realize that my outside power outlet had tripped for some reason and the batteries in my scope were nearly dead so the scope wasn't getting enough juice. oh well, there will be other good nights.
