Nice one! Was it like a little white light on the sky and easily identifiable?

They were the two brightest objects in the sky and were only a small distance apart.
Click on the 5 day prediction and then highlight 'visible passes only' and it will draw a line on the map showing what direction to look and at what time.
It was amazing to see (it was the first time i had witnessed it myself)
