Oh, I've got an app for that...


Walking home from the restaurant I was asked "what is that in the sky?"...

Some thought, considering relative and absolute brightness, position in the sky, known location of red stars, path of the ecliptic and so on... that is Venus, that is Jupiter and way over there in the East, that red one is Mars

Nephew selects appropriate app, waves Android phone about and says "yes, correct"

Should I feel smug or redundant?
