Mars?

Well last night we stayed up till 12 to try to get a good view of Mars. I was even texting my sisters to look for it. Turns out it was a hoax that goes around every year on the 26th. After were seeing anything big and red in the sky, Mike looked up more info from some space websites and found out that although Mars was not going to be as big as the moon, Jupiter was out. This picture doesn't show it, I was trying to find the right setting to take the picture with but then never did again at midnight when right under the moon, we did see Jupiter. It was bright and will be visible again for the next couple days. It doesn't blink and if you have a telescope you may even be able to see some moons around it (fuzzy white dots) - No Joke this time.
