Distant Planet, Quarter Moon

Through a thin layer of clouds, directly overhead at sunset tonight, there was a bright, distant planet quite near a bright quarter Moon.

Can you see it? Click on the image to look at it full screen.

There it is! A pair of binoculars will bring out the Galilean moons.

But now the storm comes and we will see none of this for the next several days.
