I caught a bunch of interesting shots of the Moon tonight, along with a few other objects in the sky.  See the tweet below for a good capture of a plane below the Moon.

Morning Moon Before the Front

A short while after the “good” plane, I caught something else, this time much higher.  In the image above you can see a spec in quadrant 1. Now usually I am shrinking/compressing images for the blog, but this time I am blowing one up.  Here is an expanded view of that dot:

This is likely a plane’s fuselage.  But it just seemed awfully high in the sky for a commercial plane.  What do you think it is?  Satellite? Aliens?

I am the founder and creative director of Computer Looking Up. I have been fascinated by space since childhood. My interest in technology also runs deep, rooted in fond memories of the CRT-anchored desktops my father tinkered with in the early 1980s. Professionally, I have spent over 30 years immersed in the technology sector, serving in capacities ranging from programming and IT to project management. Outside of work, my passions lie in astrophotography, astronomy, and philosophy. Through ComputerLookingUp.com, I explore these interests and aim to build a community where we can share insights—I hope you will join the conversation.
