Look at the Moon - Hitchos - 25-03-2012
If anybody intrested in astronomy like me, if you look at the moon now you will see 2 objects that look like stars near it, the brighter one is the planet Venus and the dimmer one is the Planet Jupiter

you got a telescope? i used to have a 12inch (giggidy) but had to get rid of it. looking at saturn was amazing.
Re: Look at the Moon - Hitchos - 25-03-2012
no not at the moment mate cant afford
but yeah Saturn is amazing to look at, saw jupiter at a proper astronomey club telescope ( you know with the sliding roof and all that), times it perfect as Europa, ganymede, io and Callisto were either side of it in a line
Re: Look at the Moon - declantg - 25-03-2012

Re: Look at the Moon - ginge191 - 25-03-2012
would try with the iphone but think there's no chance it would pick anything up..
Re: Look at the Moon - Ben Jay - 25-03-2012
it uses gps and the motion of the phone to tell you what you are looking at.
Re: Look at the Moon - ginge191 - 25-03-2012
