Weekly Observation Post 2

Today, September 12th, the planet Venus was very visible in the early morning sky and was extremely close to the moon throughout most of the day. During the early morning when it was still dark outside, it was clearly visible and could be almost instantly recognized. However, throughout the day when the moon changed location in the sky and it getting brighter outside, it was a little more difficult to spot-yet still possible. Venus was extremely bright and was fun to observe. I could also see Juipter, which was very high up in the sky- almsot directly above me, much higher than Venus.
