WTF is this rising in Hawaii its huge & bright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check the latest Hawaii cloud cam & watch at 03:30 WTF is this rising?

I checked stellarium so it is not the Moon or Jupiter & the Sun rises about 4 hours later!!

The closest star I can think is Betelgeuse but WTF its too big & bright to be Betelgeuse so WTF is it?

I took a snapshot here [link to s1204.photobucket.com]

not seeing it on the cloudcam, but the picture is really weird! cn't be the moon, it's going into the new moon mode so it would not be all round like that. is it as big as the moon, what you are seeing?

Mars is my guess..

[link to www.solarsystemscope.com]

go to the night side of earth, then look at how Mars would have risen a couple of hours before the sun, and remember these cameras are VERY sensitive to light, so Mars would appear to be huge, but I'm no expert.
