Seeing Jupiter

Last night, we  to see Jupiter. It was really cool because this does not happen very often. Right now, Jupiter is very visible. When you look at it with just the naked eye, it just looks like a really bright star. Last night, we looked at it through a telescope and we were able to see the moons around it as well as the ring. At first, I didn't really see the difference between looking at it with the naked eye and looking at it through a telescope, but then After Mr. Welton explained the the tiny white specks were moons, I could clearly see that it was a planet and not a star. I am really happy that we got to see Jupiter it was cool.
