No Spacestation evening sightings yet but have a look at Jupiter and Venus getting closer

[wendilla]

"Venus and Jupiter are like two lanterns illuminating the darkness," says Nikodem. "It's a wonderful sight."

The two planets are closest together on March 12th and March 13th. Try to catch them before the sky fades completely black. Venus and Jupiter surrounded by twilight blue is a wonderful sight indeed.

Also Mars is still on full show with the naked eye

I'm just hoping for a clear night tonight, last night was dire ! Fingers crossed.

Sun just trying to peep through all the murky mist We've had here all day in Leics/Rutland. Its been blooming cold today only 8deg at the mo!! Where was the heatwave we were promised .....?

[wendilla]

Thats right Ann. It was overcast most of day here yesterday but by 8 30 it cleared and sky was clear so still hoping.

[wendilla]

Ann do you watch the Ospreys when they come back to Rutland water.

Hi Wendi, totally overcast here. Were you able to unlock the bank card?

[DTCwordfan]

Wont be seeing it down here, can't even see 100 yards here and on the A30 earlier, it was max two car lengths.......quite nasty and wet with it.

[guernseyman]

Lovely sunset tonight, and Venus and Jupiter are really clear at the moment. Looking forward to the twilight blue!

[wendilla]

Hi Sibton my card wasn't locked I was just interested for future ref to tell my daughter in case it did happen.

[wendilla]

All overcast still here in Leics. Will check in an hour again.

[hetherington]

overcast in suffolk as well! and last night but Sunday gave a good view

[percypineapple]

murky here in south lincolnshire, been depressing all day, but saw the two planets the other night, really bright and clear, no light pollution here, all fields and fens so ideal stargazing environment.

Hi Wendilla - sorry I didn't see your question to me. Yes we have seen the Ospreys in previous years at Egleton on Rutland Water and the red kites. Wonderful. I don't think they are back yet, its usually mentioned on Central News. :)

[wendilla]

Here is the link for you to check on them
