A question for those in the "astro knowledge"

[Crotal Bell]

Hi all. This was taken at approx 12:30 this morning. Can anyone tell me what the two bright stars are under the moon please?
They looked orange to the naked eye.
(The aircraft passing by was a bonus)

Likely Mars is the closer one, maybe Aldebaran on the right?

If you're interested in knowing what's where in the night sky I can highly recommend Stellarium software. You can get in for PC, Linux etc all free open source. There's even a web version here: - https://stellarium-web.org/

I think Jupiter is quite near to the moon at the moment - or it was a week or so ago at least.

It was. Now it is in fact Mars as mentioned above.

Things move so quickly.

I use Stellarium too btw

Worth buying the App too if you are going to get out shooting night skies.
