At late evening you can see Mars next to the moon and Saturn and Jupiter in a more south westerly direction but both disappear below the horizon at 1:00 am ish.
Amazing to think Saturn is pretty much 1400,000 000 kms away and there it is in the sky.

A magnificently powerful piece of music.
Despite the name Gustav Holst he was an Englishman born in Cheltenham.
There was still a star right there at 5:30 this morning, so what could that be?

Mar's looked stunning last night. I also managed to spot the Genesis satellite in the evening, due to the angle of the sun, it reflected a very bright reflection back down to earth and it looked almost liken the ISS. Incredibly bright.

I followed your instructions yesterday evening and got some very odd looks from the neighbours ��

I noticed that last night, thought it was weird as i'd never noticed it before and it obviously wasn't an aircraft. Didn't think about it again until I saw this thread, but if it's the same tonight I'll look out specially.
No wonder those ancient civilisations/religions saw so much in the stars before TV and Corona virus
Ding Dong !
Boy I'm HOT today !
Have borrowed a friends telescope and last night was the first night that had really been clear in the last week to use it.
Yes Mars to the left of the Moon ( both stunning through the scope ) but the ultimate for me last night was seeing Jupiter and it four moons and just to it's left the incredible rings of saturn ( so clear )..........Blew my mind

You clearly saw the rings of Saturn? Nice clear sky.

Noticed the same thing from my hotel room in Saskatchewan, Canada last night too.

Mars is to the right of the moon tonight and not as close. Should look a little more orange.
Mars is looking cheeky tonight.
