Observation 1/29/11

Last night, Mr. Percival posted on Facebook that there was a celestial event occurring - Jupiter was extremely close to the moon, and was very easy to see because of its relative brightness to other stars. I also observed other constellations pretty near to the moon at roughly 8:00pm. At this time, the moon sat right in the valley of the tied tails of pisces. To the right of the right fish of pisces I was also able to see the great square of pegasus and the beginning of Andromeda. Other than these constellations, the only other one I was able to see was Triangulum which was about 20 degrees of arc above the right fish of pisces.
