Constellation maybe? Quoting: BlankZ as posted it's jupiter i'd suggest you visit this site: [link to www.fourmilab.ch] it's a skymap via website so no clunky star software to download, and of course its free plug in your city and check your map. then you can uncheck all of the extra deep space and dim stuff in the table so you'll only see naked eye stuff like the moon, bright stars and planets. as you can see, it's really easy to get informed about what you see in the sky. now, if you do see something, that isn't on a sky chart, then it's really really worth mentioning as many places as you possibly can, especially with general direction of where to look so others can confirm |
| BlankZ (OP) User ID: 1528520 United States09/19/2011 05:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That is Jupiter. It is very spectacular right now. If you have some binoculars you can see the moons. Quoting: Seer777 Woah is it? That is awesome! I was with my sister sitting in the car and I was scaring her, telling her it was Nibiru lol. Then, I started scaring myself a bit too, so I backed off this theory. Then every night I look up towards the moon, and there it is the same star.. relativley in the same place. My friends had told me it might be mercury.. but, I don't know how to tell. Are you sure it's Jupiter? I can tell you that it most certainly could be, it's REALLY bright! It's beautiful :) Last Edited by BlankZ on 09/19/2011 05:22 PM |

Never really have fun playing with that type of stuff since I really don;t understand it much. It fascinates me to the fullest! I will check out that application. I have google sky, but I don;t understand much of what I'm reaading. Jupiter is my favorite planet! |
| djdandew User ID: 1510195 United Kingdom09/19/2011 05:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been seeing it here in the uk almost every night for about 8 weeks now, i am partially sighted but can see it with no problem at all. i know it is Jupiter but i have never seen it so bright and it has been for weeks i personalty believe it could be one of the signs of the times and this verse comes to mind. Luk 21:25 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. |

My eyesight is pretty bad, as I sit so close to the t.v and it damaged my eyes throughout my life. Likewise, seeing Jupiter with the nakid eye is really easy. I would love to see it with high powered binoculars. Like that one poster above had mentioned. Would you really be able to see the moons with one? I would think that Jupiter is too far to see without a very good scope. |

I'm a little skeptical about Nibiru, I'm not going to say it isn't there, or that it is.. because, I simply don't know. We will all have to wait and see. It's a scary possiblity no doubt! As of lately there have been a few people trying to debunk nibiru or comet elenin relating to "new information" these unknown sources are confirming. Like, Elenin has not survived perihelion faze. This is dumb, because wouldn't nasa confirm this? It's no secret elenin exist. Anyway...  |
