As I was driving home from work Wednesday evening (28 November) heading east on Interstate 40, the full moon rose directly out of the trees ahead of me with Jupiter about 2 ½ moon diameters to its upper left. The moon looked huge and glowed orange like a Japanese lantern. Together, they looked a lot like Jupiter and one of its moons look through the telescope. I took the following picture while barreling down the expressway. Of course the flash went off so I nearly blinded myself with the reflection off the windshield, and I’m sure the people in the cars around me wondered what the heck I was doing. But, I didn’t cause any accidents and with a little brightness/contrast adjustment, the picture turned out half decent. Click on the image below for a closer view.
