Anonymous Coward User ID: 7850663 United States 01/05/2012 10:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is anyone else noticing Sirius glowing incredibly bright tonight and flickering intensely? Could anyone in North America confirm if they see this or not? My wife and I noticed it at about 9:25pm CDT. Quoting: Grimsun Sirius is located just below Orion, and is visible in the southern sky right now. It looks CRAZY... I realize this is an atmospheric disturbance but none of the other stars are having this effect that I can tell. You weren't suppose to see that!! I thought I Chemtrailled your area???? DAMN!!!! |

Several threads on this, alot of people noticing “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2518219 The color may be off a bit sometimes but I can see a whit disk with a 10x binoculars. Beatlejuice is red. Venus is not in the South right now but I have seen it tonight. It's as bright as the Moon! No, this is definitely Sirius. Also, planets don't flicker Grimsun |

Also, planets don't flicker I figure Venus has already set in the west, so most likely I was looking at Jupiter. It has a more muted color than Venus which is often blazing & star like. The extra twinkling and color variation is an atmospheric effect from warm and cold air lares - aka "temperature inversion". |

I realize this is an atmospheric disturbance but none of the other stars are having this effect that I can tell. I've seen like 10 threads on GLP on this topic. I first noticed this back in 1996 and was like WOAH where did that come from. I like watching the sky but somehow I never noticed this before. SIrus is especially bright and flashy in winter months. It goes BLUE RED GREEN its crazy. all the colors; it does not appear to be atmospheric disturbance. I've wondered what it is on multiple occasions. I understand that it is actually a twin star, could it be that we are seeing some kind of wobble from the binary system? |

My wife was thinking something similar, that it had to do with the binary system. I was confused as to how I've been sky watching all my life and never noticed it like this ?? Grimsun |

My very thoughts as well. I have looked out my backdoor almost every night for the past 10 years at this constellation. Sirius has NEVER been this bright. I had to look it up on a chart just to make sure that was what I was seeing, as it was so unusual looking. And all I could think was "huh, that has never looked like this" ....whats up people??? |

It stopped me dead in my tracks as I came in from my car to the house. I live in Montana, far far away from city lights. So star gazing is just an everyday thing here. But something is going on with the crazy brightness in the sky. BUT are sun is also extemely bright, brighter then it has ever been. SOOOO .... What does it all mean ??? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1317305 That was Venus tonight. Looked amazing! Now I know when the air is cold there is less water in the atmosphere, which is why winter skies are so crisp and clear. That said, I do agree this is even beyond the normal brightness of a winter night. Signs and wonders. I know I will be keeping an eye on Sirius in the nights to come to see if it intensifies.
