6 cm south of the moon, 7cm east (my way of giving directions).

I'm guessing Jupiter. Wow, it's big tonight.

Gone now. Lost in the haze and the light pollution.

By your directions.... saw it last night. Didn't fire up Google's app to figure out if it was a planet and which one.

He's back, our big brother. Not quite so big and bright but apart from the moon, I can't see anything else.

Actually, I think there is another. A couple of cm to the left of the moon and just above the horizon.

Frustrating trying to find charts for 21 April. Lots of meteor shower stuff this month.

It's just started to cloud over here, but looking on my apps I would have thought one of the only things bright enough in the sky when it's not dark is good old Venus.

Today is the peak of the Leonids meteorites.

I’d no idea about the Leonids. Might have been a good night to go up Teide as I’m in the area
