Celestial View Update

I did a little more research on my last post...  The two bright objects in the photo are definitely Venus and Jupiter, with Venus being the brightest.  Both planets are beautifully visible in the morning sky.  Four of Jupiter's largest moons are also visible, though I was not able to see them with my naked eye.  I highly suggest getting up early to catch a glimpse of them!

If you are looking at the evening sky, the two planets visible are Saturn and Mars.

Happy Sky Watching!
