if you have java installed then try this website - www.skyviewcafe.com.... they have an amazing little viewer program with many different settings and is very easy to use. you should be able to figure out what it is from there

it looks like it could be vega as that seems to be the brightest star in the south east region. i'm no astronomer though and need to compare the constellations in that java program with what i see in the sky to be certain.

i almost photographed it myself last night but got distracted by my cats and then forgot. if the weather isn't bad tonight i'll try and snap a few pics of it.

it is incredibly bright though and has been there a few weeks now. i see it almost every night that the weather is good when i round up my cats for the night.

Stellarium

Really, do go and down load stellarium. Its an open source FREE resource planetarium.

Once you have it set up, you will easily be able to tell what your seeing in the night sky is not nirubu, not planet X, not a new born star...

Hell, Im not gonna spoil it with easy answers. Down load stellarium and enjoy an amazing teaching tool for the night sky.

Whooopppaaahhh!



hmmm and if its not??

have you seen this yourself, if its venus something is going on on venus

this star has been sitting on the end of my street for about a month.

its so shiny it sometimes go right trhough cloudcovers as the only shining object.

it does move.. as other stars and planets.
i have watched with the street as background but it doesnt move fast. im sure it stays in the same position every night, but yesterday i suddenly coundt find it... -strange

anyway, if this is venus why have i never noticed venus like this before and also it looks as bright as the comet that came in early november 2007... its to bright to be venus...

have to look at a skymap the next time i see it to tell if its venus..

i didnt even snap a photo allthough im always up in late night hours, it was just to big to photo, i thought, "everybody in the whole world see this... -why its not on ATS, proberly its bacause its venus or some comet..."
so ive seen it like 20times and looked in amaze but never took a photo.

but the reason this could be something not venus is as always...
if you wanna hide something for humans, then make it obvious to them.

thanks for all the posts about smaller irregular moving and cloaking sattelites, its my hobby to spot them and they sure are numerous these days. actually i think i will make a thread collecting and combining all info about the small stars that people have posted here

The object in question is Jupiter. It appears very bright because 4 of its moons can also be seen with a telescope.

I researched about the next Jupiter opposition, it's on the 9th of July so that's why Jupiter is getting very bright and it will get brighter.

Here is a zodiac site with all oppositions till 2035.
Interesting they claim that the markets drop around these oppositions...
www.luckydays.tv...

I'm too lazy to go search for a more accurate and credible site, but I think this is enough, after all astrologists "study" all these events and they must have the correct dates.

Edit: not the zodiac site.... but a zodiac site
