Wish I could post the one I took I believe the same night from E TN. I'll post it to my profile.

What are the two brighter objects here? I saw this too, but did not know what they were!

Jupiter and Venus most likely.
Download Stellarium or one of the many apps with star maps and you can even adjust to a specific day/time.

Jupiter and Venus, respectively.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this sight the last several mornings at 5am... Magical. Never mind the 9 degree weather with -10 windchill, as I slipped into 110 degree hot mineral water. YES. Adventure Nerding.

Venus and Jupiter look amazing when they are in conjunction.

I think it's a wonderful picture. You captured the alignment quite well!

I saw it too. They are Moon Jupiter and Venus respectively. It was pretty cool.

...wasn't that a magical sight to see!? I kind of forgot my knowledge of celestial mechanics and called several friends to look for it the next night; of course, that alignment wasn't there again...

I've been outside every night with my spaced obsessed 8 year old using the star app and taking pictures of the planets. His birthday is in March and I'm gunna get him a telescope!

I'm looking at them right now as my dog takes a shit in the backyard.

I'm looking at them right now in Canada. How come the lower one looks like it's pulsing light? Not sure which is which.

What a coincidence, that was the exact situation I looked at them.
pbWdq t1_ja5vyyj wrote
I am here in Europe, today was cloudy but yesterday I saw it clearly. The lower one is Venus. Pulsing light is probably due to the our atmosphere but I'm not an expert. They are very beautiful though.
