Default I saw storied Sirius tonight.

I know it wasn't Jupiter because Sirius was a pin point and Jupiter was
a disc. Also Sirius was east of a famous pattern formed by Betegeuse,
Bellatrix, Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka, Saiph, and Rigel. While Jupiter
made a triangle with a familiar pattern formed by Pollux and Castor.
The earth's orbit moved both familiar patterns and Jupiter further
westward over the course of the past weeks.
