CowgirlsFan Posted March 26, 2012 Share 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!

Marv's Neighbor Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 It's very impressive! Having lived in Seattle for 25 years, I didn't see the sky very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted March 26, 2012 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Still there. Venus is now just a little below and to the side of the moon while jupiter is quite a ways below. Mars still to the east. Astronomy is the **** I'll admit I'm a space nerd. Wife and I honeymooned in French polynesia. Sitting on the deck of our overwater bungalow every night gave us almost surreal views of the sky. We sat out there and drank and just took it all in. Made you feel very small in the universe. Would love to be doing that again on a nights like tonight/last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
