12:00am
East Laurel Road
Clear skies with minimal clouds at the horizon
The full harvest moon, overheard nearly at zenith, brightened the entire midnight sky, making star-gazing a difficult task. I did however see a few faint stars. Among them was a bright object due east: Jupiter. Easily the second brightest object in the sky after the moon, Jupiter was still visible in the southeast around sunrise at 6:00am. At sunrise, the moon was about to set, about 45 degress high in the sky at 6:30am. Clouds at the horizon quickly hid the moon from view, but I was able to enjoy a few minutes while the bright moon was clearly in view due west.
