Emergenceman User ID: 17868102 Puerto Rico 12/15/2013 11:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw a video (one of many online) of one guy who saw the Southwest Sky Object literally appear out of thin air. So I went out two days in a row, and it literally turns on around 530, or 520 AZ time. Venus doesn't turn on and off like a lightswitch. I saw it do it right in front of me yesterday, the camera wouldn't pick it up because it was still so light out. I will try again and I urge others to. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51394664 I was looking yesterday SSW around 4:30pm MST and saw a bright object in the sky. I was surprised because it was still light out, I thought it odd that one star could show so brightly. Checked Stellarium and it might have been Arcturus but at 1 Mag, I doubt it. It was particularly puzzling because it was generally overcast with snow flurries as well. It faded out, I assumed cloud obstruction but now I'm not so sure. Here in the Northern Rockies, I look at Venus almost every night. It was not Venus, wrong location, too far West and North of the Ecliptic. Its sunny today, I'll take a look this afternoon and see if its visible. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51394664 That is awesome. ..not sure what it is but I was out one evening a few months ago observing it. I took many photos that I even took a random rapid succession of shots and those very moments it appeared into view. It was pretty cool I thought. Now this just confirms that it had appeared suddenly for me. I will get those photos posted up here in a couple hours. |
