Those two planets are Jupiter and Venus. Venus is the very bright one. And Jupiter does have several moons but you wouldn't see them with the naked eye. Decent bins might pick them up but a basic telescope will. My telescope is a 3 inch reflector and it can easily see four of Jupiter's moons. Amazing sight.<br /><br />On the other hand, if you really did see something as big and bright as another full moon, that would probably be Betelgeuse blowing up. Or a very good bottle of wine.Rob Cromptonhttp://snigsfoot.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
