don't know much about astrology but i saw a star

I don't know much biology.

I saw Venus disappear from a cloudless sky and then suddenly re-appear.

that means you dont know life!. AHHHHH!

you know if that's normal bro?

Dont know much about his-to-ryyyy dont know much about bio-logyyyy

Venus!!!

Don't know if it's 'normal'... but it sure as hell was pretty weird.

ya haha. i dunno if that what i saw or not. but i only saw it disappear.

people keep saying "Venus" and I respect that...its just that well I think there is sumpin else as well

what are you thinking it is?

Contrary to your belief. Planets do flicker.

It's OUR atmosphere that makes them APEAR to flicker. It has nothing to do with the star or planet itself...

Probably was Venus.

never knew that. i always thought stars flickered cuz it was a flaming ball haha. but the flicker wasn't the problem it was the super brightness that caught my attention first then 5 seconds later it burns out like a lightbulb. i could still see it but it was a little speck in the sky

Could be a fireball - A meteor. Maybe it had a trajectory that was well, pretty much on a direct path to your face :P

You were lucky maybe :P

but i typed in to "do planets twinkle" into google and the all of the results are "why don't planets twinkle but stars do" haha

Planets do twinkle because of the atmospheric turbulence when an object is low on the horizon. That's where you get the most twinkling from.

i'm not the smartest guy out there but if was headed on a "direct path to my face" wouldn't it be getting brighter and larger?

Its a planet or ship(same thing) Identified or not

anywho...the only answer i got from the www was maybe it's meteor dust passing over it.

Nah, doesn't have to be actually. Depends on the meteor and the size it is and the substance it's made of. Could be as bright as a sun if it was really big or just flare up a bit more than the average star.

Still think it was Venus though. Might be some cloud up there you didn't see. Either that or a Satelite. Maybe geostationary that just passed out of the sun's rays while you were looking at it and therefore stopped 'shining'.

Lol. Or its REALLY far away and has an atmosphere

Most likely what AC said

Star you see is an illusion.

This wouldn't make a difference when looking at it from Earth. The only atmosphere giving it a flickering effect would be ours.

The other object would be too far away for its atmosphere to have ANY noticable effect.

alrighty then, i guess it is normal!

Just keep looking ;)

I also hope to see something strange one day, that's why I am into astronomy so much.

So that I KNOW when I see something weird :P

that's smart haha
