On the 14th, I could see a bright spot to the right of the Moon and I didn't know what it was at.
So I looked it up on the Internet and I found out that it was Jupiter! How exciting!
Even though they look close together, they are really far apart - in fact, Jupiter was 423 million miles away and the Moon was only about 0.25 million miles away.
I was excited about seeing Jupiter but I got much more excited when I zoomed in the photo and saw four fuzzy dots in a diagonal line around Jupiter and worked out that they were Jupiter's four largest moons - Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto!
It's amazing that I could photo them using only a hand-held camera - no tripod!
