tegater 789 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Look south east early morning about 5 ish. Bright planets left of the moon! They are visible before this, but thats when I am up and out!! The only joke about the moon I can think of, revolves around a song "Blue Moon"!! Is there anything that sets them apart from the rest? A few million miles probably :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 3,994 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 What do we look for? im not clued up on planets but at a guess I'd say 3 Round Things ! Not to clue'd up on much else by the sounds of it Your right there , though I think when looking for Planets Anything Round and above your head (outside preferably) and you won't go far Wrong That's about the extent of my knowledge too though worth a look definetly , remember a few yrs ago maybe 10 , there was I think an Eclipse they call it , well the Sun was blocked by the moon in the day and it went dark for a bit , strange watching it !
