With our hazy sky last night that was the only star visible . . . I wonder which it was.

Thanks

If it was next to the moon, it was Jupiter.

If it was very bright and off by itself, it was Venus.

Also, right now, Jupiter rises at about sunset and is visible throughout the night. Venus rises shortly before sunrise, so it's only visible in the early dawn.

I love our night sky! I wonder if it was visible from everywhere on the planet?

I'm pretty sure the night sky can be seen from anywhere on the planet.

But I'm just guessing.

:blink:

(but, I meant Jupiter, obviously!)

Well, as long as clouds or such don't block the view, yeah.

:24:

We can't all see the moon at the same time, so why should we all be able to see Jupiter next to the moon, even if the sky was cloud free?
