The two moons nearest the planet had orbited around to the other side since last time. The moon is a lot more interesting when it's not full -- the shadows near the edge are quite a sight. I noticed that I could see little bumps at the center of lots of the craters. Very cool sight. The sky was clearer tonight and the lines on Jupiter much easier to see, but I could still only see two.
