Sunday night the moon was very close to a planet, Venus, I think. I took the above pics with my phone. The first is no zoom, the second, maximum. In the zoomed-in pic, you can see the man-in-the-moons nose and it looks like he’s getting reay to give somebody a kiss. I asked my wife to take the same pics with her new phone, which is supposed to have a very good camera, but they looked about the same.
I didn’t run this morning, my foot was a little swollen last night. Think I did something to it at the beach yesterday, more than I think I hurt it running. It’s alright this morning.
Have a great day!
Wow awesome photos from a phone! I don’t think I’ve EVER seen the man in the moon in REAL LIFE before! I really thought it was just cartoon illustrations that depicted that! Really! We had two planets shining VERY brightly in the sky last night… not usual either. I don’t know what planets they were though… I’m not very clever like that. *smiles*

There’s a simple skymap every month. Make sure you get the southern hemisphere one!
Very cool and not bad for a phone. Have a good day.
Thanks Bill!
If you have a phone with all the GPS features you can download an app that you point at the sky and it tells you what all the planets and stars names are.
I have that app! It’s great!
…I no doubt was sleeping when this all happened.
I doubt it, it was shortly after sunset. My bedtime is 9PM!
Glad I kept my mouth shut when I could clearly see the planet. I thought it was Mars.
I had to look it up m’self!
