Whereabouts are you? Try going to http://www.heavens-above(.)com/ - you put in your location. Look at the page called Sky Chart, it will show what is in the sky from your location. I am in north Kent, & it is showing Jupiter as quite low on the horizon to the south south east. To the north east (but even lower on the horizon), Saturn & Mars are very close together. Carole |

The same website also tells you when the International Space Station is visible from your location. I have just checked & it will cross the sky from W to E between 23:51:35 and 23:54:35 tonight, reaching a maximum altitude of 83, which is almost overhead, so keep your eyes peeled! (this is at my location of course!) Carole |

My money is on Jupiter, as that does appear very bright in the sky and is in the right place. Carole |

Lindy, on the left hand side, under the heading Astronomy, cliick on Whole Sky Chart. Oops, I've just realised Jupiter is at SW, not SE. |
