Jupiter and Venus

 The son knocks, and we decide to go on, to go for a drive. He is driving, that is the difference, he has his new licence. Unparking the big car is difficult, it is an awkward place. It is between two vans, it is just difficult to back out.

But the son manages well, and he drives of into the sunset over the Bavarian countryside with his father. He drives for an hour, and then he has had enough.

We return, and there are two spots in the sky as a guide.

Using the program on the phone, gain understanding that these are the planets Jupiter and Venus.

Two bright reflectors in the sky, and a short drive of more than fifty kilometres each way.
