observation one

This first observational post is about the night of 16th and the morning of the 17th of September. I was in downtown Tampa and i was able to see the moon nearly at its third quarter, with a slight tint of orange-ish yellow. The moon was just over the city buildings, still hanging nice and low in the night sky, and to the right of the moon was the only other visible celestial being, Jupiter. It was apparent that the moon was only a few days past the position of Jupiter. Also, Jupiter was a very clear orange color as it glowed in the night. Overall, it was very cool experience I wont be forgetting anytime soon.
