To accurately determine which planet you observed during the eclipse, I would need more specific information such as the date, time, and your location. However, I can provide some general possibilities based on the most commonly visible planets.

If the eclipse occurred during the daytime, and you saw a bright object to the right and below the eclipse, it is possible that the planet you observed was Venus. Venus is often visible in the morning or evening sky and can appear as a bright "star" in close proximity to the Sun.

If the eclipse happened during the nighttime, and you saw a planet near the eclipse, it could have been Jupiter or Saturn. Both Jupiter and Saturn are often visible in the night sky and can be relatively bright.

Please note that without specific details, it is difficult to determine the exact planet you observed during the eclipse. To get a precise identification, it is recommended to consult astronomical charts or software, or reach out to local astronomy groups who may have observed the same event and can provide accurate information based on your location and time of observation.
