Beautiful view here in Leicestershire at 7pm - was right out in the countryside and saw Jupiter, Venus and Mars and a fantastic moon - was it a full moon tonight ? it looked it! Thanks wendilla.

Clear view here in Leics.
Mrs Weasley if you look at the moon you will see Mars to the left. Jupiter and venus are to your right .You can't miss them side by side.

Ann the full moon peks tomorrow
