Granted, it is only a skinny sliver, but it is there.

Mine too. Just to its left is a small star which is actually the planet Jupiter and higher up and a bit more left is a brighter star which is the planet Venus.

I went to look and I can see them!!

 

Edit: I dragged Mr Yogi out to see them too.

I love looking at the stars but I've never been able to identify what I was looking at, until tonight.

Is astronomy a hobby of yours, Fluffy?

Yes, I love looking and identifying and  how things can look different depending where in the sky they are and which stuff is always in our northern hemisphere and which stuff is only sometimes seen because it dips below our horizon and how your latitude affects how much you can see. I even enjoy looking at stuff that can only be seen in the southern hemisphere.

It sounds really interesting, and your enthusiasm is infectious.
