[quote:Anonymous Coward 11504445:MV80NDA4NDlfMjk4MTk3NjRfRkI5RjAyQUQ=] [quote:lucipher13 11499671:MV80NDA4NDlfMjk4MTgzNzVfMkEzNkNDQzM=] However, now I stand corrected. On Thursday February 23rd 2012 This star appeared right to the left of the cresent moon almost directly on the same longitude and it was in fact brighter than the light the cresent moon shone. Something Ive never witnessed in my lifetime something actually being brighter than the moon when it shines any light. The other thing was it was huge much larger than a regular star would be in the sky. it appears before the moon by about 30 minutes and does not leave until the moon starts to leave our sight making it in rotation with the moon.[/quote] Ten seconds checking with a skymap program tells me you're looking at Venus. 23rd Feb - 43 deg north - left of the moon - very bright. Yup, Venus. If you've never seen Venus shining like that, I can only assume you've not spent much time looking at the sky. It gets like that regularly, and even if it's quite nice, it's nothing to get your knickers in a twist about. [quote:lucipher13 11499671:MV80NDA4NDlfMjk4MTgzNzVfMkEzNkNDQzM=] Yes this sounds bonckers but it aint Venus,mars,jupiter,sirius or the north star or part of the big dipper or orions belt as i can point each of those stars out any time of the year.I told my girlfriend about it and she isnt into stars but admits its impossible to not notice. Is this Nibaru?? is this a comet?? or is it just a supernova taking for ever to lose its light. Who knows[/quote] Why not take the time to find out, instead of making wild guesses. Try Stellarium or Google Sky - they'll identify anything you're looking at. [quote:lucipher13 11499671:MV80NDA4NDlfMjk4MTgzNzVfMkEzNkNDQzM=]All I can say it aint something we see on a regular basis and the media will not report it as noone wants anyone to panic over this as the government always hides this stuff.[/quote] LOL - and how do you stop hundreds of thousands of amateur astronomers round the workld from talking about it? If there was anything weird in the sky it would be big news. And not everyone takes their orders from the US - plenty of countries would be only to happy to expose something liek this if any government was trying to cover it up. [quote:lucipher13 11499671:MV80NDA4NDlfMjk4MTgzNzVfMkEzNkNDQzM=] I hope its Nibaru though..lol [/quote] Not very likely, since there's no such thing - although if you're one of the "believers" you'll no doubt be lying on your death bed saying "any day now..." :lolsign: [/quote]
