(α Scorpii, α Sco, Alpha Scorpii) is a red supergiant star in the Milky Way galaxy and the sixteenth brightest star in the nighttime sky (sometimes listed as 15th brightest, if the two brighter components of the Capella quadruple star system are counted as one star). Along with Aldebaran, Spica, and Regulus it is one of the four brightest stars near the ecliptic. Antares is a slow variable star with an average magnitude of +1.09.[ Alternative name of this star, meaning "the Heart of Scorpion" Regards, Moe [link to GnosticWarrior.com] THERE IS A WAR FOR YOUR SOUL!

KnightsTemplar.TV User ID: 1280429 United States 09/17/2011 07:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i was being honest in saying nice thinking and good theory. if you care what spirit says it's arcturus. if not carry on.. How yeah, Explains this? Here is a familiar figure – to stargazers – and to Texans like me. Just yesterday, my little neighbor – age 5 – told me she saw a scorpion. To those of us who watch the skies, the chance to see a celestial Scorpion is present mostly in the summer months. Here it is – Scorpius the Scorpion – only visible at nightfall and very early evening now that summer is fading away. The Scorpion is one of the few constellations that looks like the creature for which it was named. It’s that curved “tail” of stars looping down toward the southern horizon that does the trick. The star Antares is sometimes called the Heart of the Scorpion. It is a fiery red star, one of the brightest stars in the sky, with a reputation for twinkling fiercely. The fierce twinkling no doubt stems from the fact that, to us in the northern hemisphere, Antares arcs across the southern sky and is often seen low in the sky. And when we look low in the sky, we’re looking through a thicker-than-usual mass of Earth’s atmosphere. The atmosphere, of course, is what causes stars to twinkle.

It looks like a brilliant star. Through binoculars, Jupiter’s four largest moons look like tiny stars quite near the planet. Regards, Moe [link to GnosticWarrior.com] THERE IS A WAR FOR YOUR SOUL!

BoxerLvr User ID: 883595 Puerto Rico 09/17/2011 07:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nope. Arcturus sets in the West around the same time Jupiter is rising in the East. The object next to the Moon was Jupiter. I've been watching it with my telescope. It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense. They thus become part of the armies of the night, the purveyors of nitwittery, the retailers of intellectual junk food, the feeders on mental cardboard, for their ignorance keeps them from distinguishing nectar from sewage. — Isaac Asimov |

G. House User ID: 1554722 United States 09/18/2011 10:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm in Central New York, I just took the dog out and saw a bright star next to the moon. The problem is I didn't notice any other stars except one really faint one off in the other direction. Quoting: ISO Is there supposed to be a bright star near the moon? It's really bright. It even made a halo type glare on the passing thin clouds. That's Jupiter. It's been passing by the Moon for a few days now. "Everybody lies." |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1552980 United Kingdom 09/18/2011 12:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's not Jupiter. Planets don't appear in the sky in comparable positions to our moon for 4 nights in row. Our moon orbits us, planets orbit the Sun. DUH. lol Quoting: J 1555174 Duuuuh! The moon takes 29.5 days to orbit the earth, so it moves across the sky fairly slowly. If you'd actually been looking, instead of getting your information from GLP, you'd have seen that the moon has in fact slowly been passing Jupiter over the last few days. They haven't been in exactly the same positions relative to each other. So, double duuuuh! to you... |

I'm not sure what you mean by "halos" but it sound like your telescope needs adjusting. If it's a reflector get the collimation checked. Since people never give even half-understandable information about time and direction, it's hard to say which objects they're looking at, but currently Venus is in the south west after sunset, with Jupiter quite high, and more to the south. Mars rises in the east about 9 pm, and Saturn rises after midnight. |
