Newbie question - Jupiter located south of sky?

Hi!

I am a newbie in astronomy.

I started to read some books around astronomy lately. Wow, so much to
learn!

I observed the sky during the last two weeks and noticed a bright star in
south of the sky. I noticed also what seems like a moon or something else
beside that star. Is it possible that it is Jupiter and one of its moon? I
am located in east Canada.

Many thanks!

Also you can download Google Earth if you haven't already and under
the "view" menu you'll see "Switch to sky".

Many thanks for your reply Androcles.

No, I did not know this. I will download it now!

Sincere regards,
