Bearman Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 If you look in the sky now ( and about this time for the next couple of nights) you will see Venus with Jupiter seemingly very close just behind. They are low in the Western sky now. Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padge Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Have just got back from Crete and Venus and Jupiter were extremely bright and fairly close, they really did stand out in the night sky.

Just Browny Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Have just got back from Crete and Venus and Jupiter Bloody hell, pretty flash trip. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Old Frightful Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Have just got back from Crete and Venus and Jupiter were extremely bright and fairly close I had no idea Crete was that far away. No wonder tonyxiii looks spaced out whenever I meet him. Hull FC....The Sons of God... (Well, we are about to be crucified on Good Friday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyXIII Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I had no idea Crete was that far away. No wonder tonyxiii looks spaced out whenever I meet him. Actually, I look "spaced out" because I'm trying to work out Iestyn Harris' selection policy. Either that, or it's the wine?

tonyXIII Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 If you haven't a clue what you're looking at, try googling "earthsky.org". There is a nightly picture of the planets to help you. I found the site about ten days ago when I spotted three objects in a line (that wasn't the wine!) and only knew that one was Venus. The others turned out to be Jupiter and the star Regulus. We get a really clear view from "our" seat in the village square, opposite the taverna which supplies the wine. Rethymno Rugby League Appreciation Society Founder (and, so far, only) member.

Bob8 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 And here in California I missed out as a cloud was in the way. A cloud is almost as rare a sight.
