I'm knackered (Easter holiday). Lying in bed next to the cool window with curtains open. It's such a fine night, the black sky is sparkling with stars and, I think, a planet. It's beautiful.

I have memories of laying on the Holden's roof and looking at The Southern Cross in the outback.
Sure gets you thinking.

You can almost certainly see more than one planet. Venus will be visible I expect as will Mercury, maybe even Jupiter and Mars

Lovely clear night here in glasgow. Except for the light pollution though- would be nice to be up in the hills, although maybe not near ft bill!

You'll almost certainly be seeing Jupiter, about the brightest object in the sky at the mo'.
