thank you from Maine. It is now 7:20 pm., and very cold, but I don't ever remembering seeing such a bright planet. Beautiful. I had a small very
inexpensive telescope when I was a child, but it could see the craters on the moon, wish I had it now.
Now I am not an astronomer by any means, but I have to correct you! I have been observing this bright object in the skys of Chicago and it has been
doing some wierd things. This has been for more than 6 months. I am not kidding you on the elapsed time. I first noticed when this bright object
had a smaller bright object (this object was bright also) that accompanied it like a little brother. The two objects were always relatively close to
one another some times even showing close to the moon. It looked like the two objects formed a perfect line segment. Both objects would be seen
shortly after sun set between 5pm and 6pm then rotate in the viewing sky leaving the horizon around 8pm. I noticed the smaller object was on top of
the presently seen larger bright object for several months September thru November. Proof of this observation to an acurate marker of time was the
Monday night football game Chicago played in Minniappolis. The camera man took a view of the Minniappolis' downtown skyline and behold I saw the
same formation of the two objects right above a tall building. I was elated to see that becuase I received the opportunity to see it in another area
other than Chicago. Then exactly two days after viewing the game-back home in Chicago it was Wednesday-I noticed the objects changed formation from
months of being stabalized in a fixed patterned. I was shoked at this I couldnt believe my eyes the smaller bright object then was to the right of
the larger bright object!!! Thats not all! I began to study what was happenning every night-this was relatively in the month of December. Everyday
the smaller object will INCREASE its distance from the larger still standing object until I was unable to observe it any longer in the night sky-the
smaller object actually faded by Late December. Now this large bright object stays in the night sky for hours!! Beginning at sun set until the wee
hours of 11pm! I dont think that is Venus if we are only privilaged to see it just after dusk then fades shortly after. This event is something big
and should be seriously considered to be thoroughly investigated!
I to have been watching this star its not venus or any other planet it eminates light different colors and the light it seems more intense and then it
will dim down a bit .planets reflect light they dont make it as this is..
