I was awake from around 4:12 this morning. After three quarters of an hour of lying in bed not sleeping I remembered that Jupiter and Mars are close together in the sky at the moment. So I got up and photographed them. They were taken through the lounge room window. I wasn't going outside because I was in my pyjamas and it was (almost) freezing. Also I only used a 2 second timer not 10, so there's jiggle in some of the pics. So they're not the best.
Callisto, Jupiter, Europa, Io and Ganymede
And Venus came up as well
Mars and Jupiter get even closer over the coming week, getting their closest on the 17th.
