I've recently been more interested in astronomy in terms of trying to figure out what I can see with the naked eye. I was really excited to have a clear night where I could see two bright objects near the moon. It was the first time I used a star mapping app (Star Walk in my case), and I was beaming to find out I was looking at Jupiter and Venus! How common is it to see formations like this so clearly? From what I've been seeing from others it seems quite rare given how many people were hyped about it on social media.
