Hi all, wow!
I looked up after tea around 7:30pm and was greeted with the magnificent sight of Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon, with Jupiter less than 2° from the limb of the Moon! And, the Moon almost directly overhead in a crisp Spring sky. Nice. Unusually, if I looked across from the Moon to Jupiter and back, I thought I could see a small movement of Jupiter, like autokinesis of a point source. Maybe to do with the brightness and proximity of the Moon, or maybe just me.
Anybody have any photos of this trio. I have been slack in this department I'm afraid. Of course we get to see this group roughly every lunar month. Love it!
