There's a moon in the sky called the moon

And a planet (I think) below it, as it sinks towards the horizon in the western sky, reflecting off the river.

What did I see?

Arneb, I'm looking at you.

Jupiter

How do I know this? That's how. Great resource. Doesn'T take too much diskspace, is available for any number of operating systems. I punched in Singapore as the location, went back to the time of your post, and had a look around.

The moon will have moved by tomorrow, it moves roughly 15 degrees a day. My helpers were the pointer stars of the big dipper are about 5 degrees apart. and if I hold my hand out arm's length, and spread my index and pinkie fingers as far apart a I can - a sign language Y - they are roughly 15 degrees apart.

Nearly full again. Just one and a half cycles until the eclipse!
