hmm they are about quite often if you watch the skys, venus one of the brightest of all celestial objects as it is so close, Jupiter because it is so big...still cant beat a full moon

Agree I've got this telescope which I've seen the craters of the moon... amazing

I'm going to go home and pull it out... see if I can see anything close up to Venus or/and Jupiter

ahh but last night was a very rare occurrance where you could see Jupiter, venus and the moon very close to each other, with venus being eclipsed by the moon at about 7-30pm.

You'll never get the chance to see that in your lifetime again. Unfortunately I didnt see it, as it was cloudy. Meh.

Sure I could get up at dawn, go to a job I hate that does not inspire me creatively whatsoever, for the rest of my feckin' life. Or... I could get up at noon, and learn how to ride a motorcycle!

Tis true for sure...didnt know about the eclipse, lost my way since the accident and have not kept myself up to date...the eclipse must have been very rare but must have been a bit of a non event as the effect must have been nil...but still rare indeed.....seeing all three together isnt so rare but still and event...we had clear skys last night and tonight apparently...

I missed it, didn't even know about it until it was too late

Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!!

2strokes, please dont feel like i cut you down mate, you are an inspiration to us all, and frankly, more interesting than some pathetic venus/saturn eclipse. GWS moosh.
