I don’t really know anything about astronomy, but I noticed a planet at dawn and looked it up: Jupiter! Saturn and Mars are also super visible in the same part of the sky about an hour before sunrise. Pluto is lined up too but obviously not visible. Have a look!
SkyView was an app recommended to me, but it would be cool to have something a little more scientific. What’s a nerdier app I can’t try?
- mkl 7y agoYou could try Stellarium: https://stellarium.org/ https://stellarium.org/ It has many features and takes quite a bit of exploring.
- gorgoiler 7y agoLove it, thanks! Specifically: https://stellarium-web.org/ https://stellarium-web.org/ Sky View is nice but it’s a bit noddy: I couldn’t get it to break down the four big moons of Jupiter, which are so clearly visible, but I didn’t know which was which!
