If you gaze moonward (click here) Monday evening (if skies are clear) you'll notice a bright object to the left of the moon.
It's the planet Jupiter.
Even though its almost a half billion miles away and about 4 1/2 times the distance from the sun than Earth is, the giant planet reflects enough sunlight to appear very bright in our evening skies....
There is some talk lately about the methane environment of the moon named TItan. Evidently, there is evidence.
