Night Sky

The night sky is brilliant just now with lots to see ... here are the three most prominent objects over Aberdeenshire as it gets dark.

From top left these are

Jupiter (radius c. 70,000km), Venus (radius c. 6000km) and of course our very own Moon (radius c. 1700km).

Was out taking a series of 30s exposure shots trying to spot a SeaSat-I pass so the planets have moved a little in the shot ...
