*the planet not the mythological diety
Happy #Jupiter opposition for 2026, very bright with a clear sky to the east this evening. Castor and Pollux (the twins of Gemini) to the left; red Betelgeuse and the rest of Orion to the right; Procyon (Canis Minor) and Sirius (the 'Dog Star' of Canis Major) closer to SE horizon. Happy #stargazing

Met my first moon landing conspiracy theorist on holiday at dinner a couple of days ago. Luckily awkwardness avoided when I said "oh you're one of those people that believe in the Moon?" 🔭🧪
