Last year sometime I posted a thread asking about seeing a planet close to the moon and someone posted a link to a site telling which dates it was possible to see specific planets. I was hoping to find that thread but it's gone. The last couple of nights I have noticed a big object in the western sky and my thoughts are that it is a planet so if anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.
