Observation 1-12-10

8:00 PM
1-12-10

Tonight I was outside my house and saw something very interesting when I looked up. Right now the moon is in the first quarter phase. The interesting thing is that around the moon tonight, it looked as though there was a halo made out of fog or something. It was a perfect circle around the moon and it didn't look like any sort of clouds, just a fuzzy ring around the moon. Orion as always is clear and I was able to make out that Betelgeuse is in fact red.  I also was able to clearly see Venus this morning. It was super bright like always. It was probably 6:30 AM when I saw it in the SE approx. 18-24 degrees high.
