So today, the 29th of September 2009, I saw the moon and Jupiter pretty close to each other. Though the sight of moon and a planet seeming close to each other is something that happens at least 3-4 times a month, this was significant because it was I who saw it. :)
The thing that I observed the most was how much the moon had moved over a day. If im not mistaken, in a day the moon travels about 7 to 8 degrees each day. If you were to look at the moon and forward / rewind the time by 24 hours, you'll have to nearly tilt your head a little bit to get your glance back on the moon.
The sky looks so calm and motionless, yet there are things like our little moon running around in circles like the ball on roulette. No matter what, there's always something amazing to look at in the night sky!
