Almost looked as if the planets switched places in the sky? Hard to really tell with the shower of rain that came in, the planets did appear to be in slightly different positions of each other after the rain period. The close to full moon was also impressive tonight.
Tomk your miles away guessing is quite impressive, you were only one million miles off on venus (49) million miles. While Jupiter is approximately 564 million miles away, your guess was only 6,000,000 miles off old chap,(joking). To answer your readers questions? It would take about 4 months to get to Venus, maybe just under 4 years to reach Jupiter if we had space junk that could travel about 20,000 miles an hour.
