Under the Moon

 

We've been getting up early for field work during the morning low tides.  This morning (23 April 2019), I walked out the door and looked up to see a very bright planet just below the Moon.  Jupiter?  I haven't had a chance to check, but that's my guess.  Did you see it, too?  Photographed from Cotati at around 5:45 a.m.

    They have phone apps that help figure out what planets and constellations you're looking at, fwiw.

    Thanks, John! Believe it or not, I'm still a landline gal (no cell phone here), but I have used some websites to check on celestial events. And this morning I checked on the planet again with binoculars and could see Jupiter's moons.
