Default bright star near moon on 11/3

On 11/3 night we saw a bright star near the moon on 11/3 in
Binghamton, NY in Upstate New York. What was it? Was it just a
bright star or a planet.

That would have been Jupiter; the Moon passed within a couple of degrees
of it.

It proves that within a given frame of unfiltered Kodak film, as
having been exposed by an Apollo mission, would in fact have recorded
other than the physically dark Selene/moon, of Jupiter and especially
of Venus being nearby and situated above that physically dark golden
brownish lunar surface that's saturated with nifty minerals and meteor
deposits, as well as naked and thus fully UV reactive, not to mention
fully anticathode worthy of giving off gamma and X-rays.

The Moon was in Binghamton? Staying at the Holiday Inn for
a visit perhaps, it normally lives wherever I do. In fact I saw it
in London on the night in question... maybe there are two Moons.
