did I mention I love space?
Mar. 2nd, 2015 06:48 pmI was taking some rubbish when I spotted two bright points in the sky. Okay, I see a bright point in the sky just before the stars come out, it's probably Venus. Everyone knows that. But hey, there's two, what's this other one?
Guys? It's Jupiter. This might be obvious to some, but I literally had no idea it was that visible. It's like a really bright star, so I must have seen it hundreds of times and thought that's what it was, because I did not know Jupiter was that visible! I mean, I love space and all, but I'm still not good at identifying all the stuff up there. Clearly I need to get better because fucking hell I was looking at Jupiter all this time WHY DOES NOBODY TELL YOU THIS STUFF. I especially didn't think it would be visible somewhere as bright as this area.
um so yeah I love space?

Sorry for the crap through the window photo but I took a picture of a planet so I am now cool.
