The sky was clear and they were exceptionally bright. I thought that perhaps I had just never noticed them before. Makes me wish I had a telescope.

Thanks for the info. I always wish I knew more about astronomy. It is fascinating!

You really do not need a telescope. If you have a device that allows downloads of apps then try SkyView Free app. You can see planets and constellations along with the space station and Hubble telescope. Pretty neat app.
