Was at the Singapore National Museum to view the exhibition of Memorial to Lee Kuan Yew.

Moon, Venus and Jupiter?

Was looking at the sky, was wondering why the stars were so bright but not twinkling. Realised one of the star could be Venus. Did some googling and realised tonight is the chance to see Venus and Jupiter in their brightest. I am convinced the brightest star is Venus but not sure about Jupiter or is it a star.

Managed to hold my camera steadily and zoom 20 times to view Venus, wow I managed to capture it on camera.
