Just lucky to be in the right place at the right time!

oooo
The above two photographs were taken in the early morning of the 14th April, 2025 with my Nikon D750 camera.
Here’s an extract from WikiPedia about the planet Jupiter.
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass more than 2.5 times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined and slightly less than one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. Its diameter is eleven times that of Earth and a tenth that of the Sun. Jupiter orbits the Sun at a distance of 5.20 AU (778.5 Gm), with an orbital period of 11.86 years. It is the third-brightest natural object in the Earth’s night sky, after the Moon and Venus, and has been observed since prehistoric times. Its name derives from that of Jupiter, the chief deity of ancient Roman religion.

There was an even better shot of Jupiter at 6am this morning (18th) but I wasn’t in a position to take a photograph. Shame!

Thanks Paul. Staring up into the sky is simply beautiful. Guess that comes from being a glider pilot many years ago and before I met Jean and came across the pond!
