Planet gazing
[Posted Saturday, May 30, 2026 5/30/26 9:38 pm]
Here in the North Hollywood suburb of Los Angeles, because of light pollution you can't see many stars at night, but sometimes some things are visible.
This is a picture I just took of the evening sky facing west. The lower point of light is the planet Venus, and above it and to the left is the planet Jupiter.
I use a great android app called Sky Map which you can point at the sky and it tells you what you're looking at.

I think the fact that you can see something like a planet that is so far away with just the naked eye or a cell phone camera is really cool. And it makes you feel just a little less alone in the universe.
