Really bright shining "stars" - in the western sky.

I don't know anything about the planets JessM but I did notice the lovely clear crescent moon last night. I shall look again tonight and see if I can see Venus and Jupiter. smile

Yes - the skies have been extraordinary for the last few weeks. We have no light pollution here, so it is amazing.

Yes! It looked good a week or so back, when there were those two planets (Venus and Jupiter, I think) looking really bright, and very near to the moon.

Will look again tonight. Lovely clear sky at the mo.

The moon and planets were spectacular last night just after it got dark. Venus blasting away very brightly, accompanied by Jupiter, with a thin crescent of moon nearby - and shifting in their juxtaposition of course. And you could see the earthshine clearly - the reflected light from earth on the shadowed part of the moon. Worth a look again tonight I would say folks.
