View of the full moon and Jupiter from Samuel Beckett bridge
No need for a telescope to see the moon and Jupiter next to each other in tonight’s sky…
THE FULL MOON and planet Jupiter are blazing brightly near each other in the sky tonight – so brightly and clearly that there’s no need for a telescope to see them.
This is how the spectacle looked from Dublin’s Samuel Beckett bridge this evening…
(Thanks to the anonymous reader who sent the photograph!)
We have had a few more photos sent in from readers:

Another reader, Seán Ó Briain, sent us in an almost identical photo – note the slightly different location of Jupiter.
From an anonymous reader – a retro-looking Moon and Jupiter over Sligo
From reader Danny Corrigan, the moon near the Convention Centre.
Another pic – this time it has two exposures overlaid to create one photo taken by reader EM.
