Anyone Know What Stars/Planets These Are?

If your using a Droid get Google sky.

lol.. I was about to open a thread about this. I always look up in the sky at night when I'm letting my dog out and I never see stars at the west side but indeed like 2 weeks ago I saw those two bright lights, one much brighter than the other.

Your screen shot shows that your location is set to Paris.

You should post the exact time of your pictures and what direction you were facing. (I'm curious how everyone has said it is Jupiter and Venus without knowing the time and direction)

He did say he took the pictures tonight!

What time "tonight"?

And again, he posted a stellarium screen shot with a time input of midnight. Was this simply a mistake? Probably was, but I'd rather not make assumptions

Well they look quite high up in the sky in the pictures and they look like what I have been watching as well so it was a safe bet!

Now as venus is so bright and there are other post etc on net re these 2 objects and as saturn or spica are no were near a bright as venus again its a safe bet! not an assumption.
