The One-Off Full Moon and Jupiter
It's very clear tonight on the coast in Baja Norte and I have seen the rising, one-day-past full moon with Jupiter alongside.
What a lovely sight; crystal clear skies, a wine-dark night with no clouds.

Who knew?
They also say that with binoculars you can see Uranus.

Actually Dave, once in a bar long ago, with binos I thought I saw the full moon. But it was only Uranus!

Moon and Jupiter are very bright, looking at them right now.

Ah how lucky you guys are, I wish I could have seen it, totally missed the full moon here, completely overcast, had yet another downpour with thunder
claps that even made me jump, and I don't usually get skittish over such stuff.

Eli,
The clap is a serious issue, for sure ... it never made me jump, but a run down
to the clinic removed that fear after a few days....
now, looking at Uranus would make me jump....a few steps back
Don't believe everything you think....

Anyone here need a sky map to find the moon? 
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
