Tonight's (15/16May 2022) Super Flower Blood Moon Eclipse: Who's watching?

[Chookwagn]

I saw the last part of the eclipse on my way home from work.... I only got to see the last half of it because the moon was just coming up.

This morning in the eastern sky we could see what was meant to be 4 planets aligned in a row across the sky. Venus, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn

Correction. I believe that Mercury was actually Mars. Mercury is getting ready to go behind the sun.

Just thought I’d let you know.

Ok no problem Im sure you are a whole lot more correct than me ..... I really wouldnt have a clue about star and planets.

two of them were really bright and one was difficult to see

Makes sense. Venus and Jupiter are both very bright. They had a conjunction recently. Saturn is more dim. Mars is about the same as Saturn.

My feeble attempts at getting some pics on my phone.
The 4th planet was right at the top of the pics .... it doesn't really show up

According to my astronomy app, you captured Venus and Jupiter in the second photo. The brightest one is Venus.

I hate to say it, but you did not capture anything else. Just some stars.

Nice pictures! We were clouded out, so I appreciate seeing everyone else's stuff.
