Yes. That is Jupiter. Mars is also visible. You can spot Mars near Orion’s Belt.

It probably is Jupiter! Definitely look for Mars too, I love its redness and it's pretty easy to spot.

I photoed it yesterday as well. Nice that even mobile camera can discern the fact that Jupiter appears as a disk of almost one angular minute in diameter.

That’s about the distance between the Moon and Jupiter last night so high probability that it is.
Last night I could see Saturn and Mars with the naked eye, chances are you might be able to tonight. I’d definitely look for it. Mars has a reddish tint to it, Saturns a little more difficult to discern and could be mistaken for a star.
I recommend downloading “SkyView” to help you out, it’s how I was able to find Saturn last night.

If you have an Android phone there is an app called skymap that you can load, it lets you hold out your phone at things in the sky and it will show you what they are.

Download Sky Map app. Depending on the time of day it could be Jupiter or Saturn. Saturn has been extremely bright and high in the sky right now.

Impossible to tell if that's Jupiter, but it's indeed bright in the sky. Try going to a dark site, it's a blast. Make sure you have a red flash light

The moon and Jupiter were in close proximity yesterday so there's a high possibility that it is
