Look for the sun setting, and then look just left and what equates to something about 20 feet tall in front of you. also.... clouds rolled in, and it MAY be why... but about an hour after sunset i could no longer see this object in the sky, it basically disappeared. If its clear tomorrow i will verify whether or not it disappears or not. im slightly freaked out that the shutdown and all the satelites on the fritz as well as nasa shutting down the programs is starting to seem like too much of a coincidence.... what if 2012 really was a year off..... |
LostCauseZ06 (OP) User ID: 46866252 United States 10/03/2013 11:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | no movement.... its definately 10000% a celestial object. and i am not an astronomer or space geek, so there is a chance it is venus or saturn, but i am almost certain that it isnt, because i have NEVER in my LIFE seen this before and i have lived here my entire life..... this thing was very very bright tonight |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 45733882 United States 10/04/2013 12:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was looking WSW the other night and thought it was Venus. When I looked at a sky chart, it looked like it was Uranus (not trying to be funny). Though Neptune was supposed the be in the same view of the sky, but I could not see it. I am reminded of the thread a while back that said that Pluto had brightened. This, indicating that the we had entered the interstellar fluff. Could Uranus have brightened as well? To add to the oddity, I had a dream a few nights ago, that MARS had become bright, all of a sudden, and became brighter than Venus. in my dream, there was flooding, lots of flooding. And animals everywhere. In particular, I saw Lions (female) or could have been mountain lions, but they were eating people. For anyone who thinks it's venus, IT IS NOT. |

Great app but i just wish i could track ISON with it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1128877 Canada 10/04/2013 01:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Only one planet is easily visible at nightfall around the world in October 2013: Venus. Venus beams mightily in the west at dusk, as seen from across the Earth. You can’t miss it. It sets roughly two hours after sunset at mid-northern latitudes in early October, and about two-and-one-half hours after the sun by the month’s end. Venus! It’s the beautiful “evening star.” [link to earthsky.org] |

It will show me Ison's exact location so I know where to look. I have been busy during those hours where it would be the easiest to see it, but now the weekend is coming so I will give it a shot again. We live in a cloudy town though, right by the ocean.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 47855328 United States 10/04/2013 03:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know what you are talking about OP-- Saw the same flashing red green, and yellow lights but it was some kind of aircraft that was at an airport 50 miles away, but the pattern did not match "regular " aircraft strobes. I saw it in nearly the same position a couple nights later. It may have been a helicopter or a blimp. Baltimore had a Navy blimp doing "mapping" in their area that disturbed some people. Makes me wonder if there are more blimps hanging out around the nation acting as beacons for something.... |
