Tonight the two most obvious things in the night sky were the moon and Jupiter. The moon is at waning gibbous right now, because for the past couple days it had been a full moon. But now it is waning and it is also very low in the sky. From where I was standing in my driveway the moon was just above the line of trees and houses. Also, Jupiter was very obvious tonight. It was straight up in the middle of the sky. Because I did not have a very powerful telescope and I could not see many constellations, I could not identify any stars tonight. And also, Jupiter and the moon were so bright tonight that their light cast over many of the stars in the night sky.
