Re: SCIENCE!
I actually noticed it yesterday, bright full moon and this smaller but quite bright dot next to it which, according to google, turned out to be jupiter. It's much further away tonight but still pretty neat, i think.Sparky wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 7:10pmLike Rev Bob said, if you hadn't told me what it was, I'd still be in awe, nice work.Low Down Low wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 5:18pmMy rather pathetic attempt to take a pic of Jupiter.
