Have a 4" Celestron Telescope. I've been staring at the thing for quite some time - it's Jupiter. If you have dark skys and a good telescope you can see four of its moons. Venus doesn't have any moons! [/quote] It's not Jupiter, it's Venus [/quote]

Low on the horizon.
Yea i am into astronomy but i am not that kind of astronomer. I am more of a poet/astronomer. I give voice to the intangible aspects of stars and once in a while i notice the extraordinary : ) Then i give voice to that.
But anyway i dont remember seeing a star that bright in a long time. When i first seen it i thought it was a plane and was waiting for it to move but it didnt. And i live in a very light polluted area and it was still bright as all heck even in the light closest to the street lights. I was stunned.
So i just had to comment on it. You folks in the country. wow i can only imagine what it must look like there. Go out and look for it if you havent. Wonderful sight. Low on the horizon. Southwest sky.
