Jupiter

Tonight was a kind of rare sight. Jupiter was very close to the moon. and close to earth too. And here they are taken from our car.


Jupiter kind of looks like a white pizza. I want a telescope!

But the moon, ahh... that is a different story. Beautiful as ever.

Oh Ginny...and to think our weatherman on the local news informed us of Jupiter...and I completely forgot! These are great.

These are fantastic. I can never manage to get good pictures of the moon and you not only photograph the moon perfectly but you've accomplished other planets as well. I should have gone out and tried to spot it last night.

Wow so cool. Lately I am watching many space documents on PBS as we get it here via Buffalo, NY. Still recall the moon walk 50 years ago .

The moon sure changed quickly from when I last took the shot. I tried to zoom on the planet but just could get it. Sometimes I can. You have great moon shots.

I usually take a walk each evening, I saw this awesome sight but did not know about what it represented. I thought it so unusual there was only one star that I could. Glad you shared your information and great photos.

You did a great job with all of your night photos. The moon is spectacular. I hope you can get a telescope soon!
