Got to see it as well, thankfully someone came on the radio about 5 min before and spoke about it, otherwise I would'nt have known anything about it.
also we had simultaneous fantastic views of Venus, Jupiter, and the early moon, with an occultation (like a mini-eclipse) of Venus by the moon at one point.
Yeah I presume the very bright 'star' near the moon at 6:45 now is a planet. Is it Venus ?
Thanks a million Dub_Nerd, great to have that information. Spotted it on Sunday night and I just thought that it might be a satellite and how lucky I was to see one as it was such a clear night. Thrilled now that I know what it is.
Might dust off the ole telescope and see if I can figure out how to use it before this ends in Feb.
Thanks again.
Fantastic information there from Dubnerd,well appreciated and great work thanx. I also find it very inteseresting as to whats goin on up there above us,that occultation you spokw about was just about the strangest most awesomw sight I have ever witnessed in the night sky but I didnt realise what it was exactly until the next day!
