Post by gkoutlis »

All;

Duck out outside now, and check out the 2 stars next to the moon - see if you can see what I saw with my fiance - a smiley face.....

They're not actually stars... it's Venus (brighter) and Jupiter (not as bright) and you won't see something like it again until 2036.

Yep, we were having a look at the "smiley face" tonight after the WARG meeting... Did you manage to collect any 20c viewing fees ZMS? ;)

There's a story on news.com.au about it here also.

Here's my picture, taken with my camera phone - was the best I had available at the time...
