Which planet is that beside the moon tonight?

[Jasongivm6]

Is it visible to you, too?

Pretty sure that it's Mars. I saw it earlier.

 

[emainvol]

i think it mars too, i can see it pretty well.

I stand corrected. According to Fernbank Museum in Atlanta that's Venus.

This is a neat website . . . Current Sky

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sunday, May 13: The Moon will be new on Wednesday. Look for a thin crescent Moon in the west just after dark Friday night. The planet Venus shines brightly in the west just after dark. It sets about two hours after sunset. Venus will appear close to the Moon on Saturday night. The planet Saturn will be high in the south just after dark and will set just after midnight. Saturn can be found in the constellation of Leo this month. The planet Jupiter will rise out of the east just after dark. Mars rises out of the east about three hours before sunrise. Mars is in the constellation Pisces this week. The planet Mercury is too close to the Sun for easy observation. [/FONT]

Cool. Thanks. I just happened to walk out on my back porch and saw it.

[Jasongivm6]

It's gone now. I mean, the moon.

Actually it's still there. You just can't see it. Pretty spooky, huh?

 

[ut 4 me]

it's probably an alien spaceship trying to steal the moon

What happened to the light? Did we orbit around the view already? Or is that weird 45 degree angle, space curvature light shadow thingamuchiggy?

I was just being a smartass. However, the moon orbits us, not the other way around...so, I'm guessing it orbited out of our view.
