Astronomy anyone?

Go outside and look at the Moon. The bright object to the lower right is Jupiter! If you take a good pair of binoculars and look at it, you can see its' moons at about 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. If you have a telescope, you can actually see the planet itself. Cool stuff.

Well I guessed right then. That's what I told my wife and son it was, but I was just making a guess.

Thanks! I saw the moons with my binoculars!

I use to keep an old telescope in camp. Would set it up and show the kids Jupiter, and you could always make out at least 4 to 5 moons. Saturn was always cool with the rings, And of course the moon with its craters was cool. Need to get another one for camp.
