HUGE BRIGHT STAR IN THE EASTERN SKY!

It's not on Stellarium either. Venus and Mars now below the horizon after 8 p.m., but this object is still there.

As I posted on the other thread - it is NOT a planet (ie Venus or Saturn); since when do planets PULSATE?! A planet appears as a static light in the sky - no light fluctuations at all. A star "twinkles". This thing in the eastern morning sky PULSATES in such a way as nothing else in the sky. Explain that...
It's not a planet or star. I look at them through my telescope. As of September 2 there are 7 different objects in the sky. One very bright object in the West that comes out around 8 PM and one in the East that appears around 9 PM. There are 5 others that move from east to north that hoover around the horizon line.
The all pulsate. The five around the horizon get bright and then disappear. There are two that are brilliant yellow, two that are red and one that changes colors from red to white.


I've been watching the LARGE VERY BRIGHT object in the western sky since the end of May, and, yes, sometimes it changes colors - mostly red/white/blue - but not "twinkling" really, slower than that.

I'm 68 years old, have been a sky-watcher for a long time, never seen anything like it other than Halley's Comet in the 70's, which was about the same brightness.

It does NOT show up on Stellarium.
At this date, September 3, Venus (and Mars) sinks below the horizon just after 8 p.m., but this thing is still there, more to the north. NO, IT'S NOT ANTARES.

It seems to just disappear later, not sinking below the horizon 'cuz it stays in the same spot, then gone. Maybe I don't watch it long enough. But stars and planets move, and pretty fast too; you with telescopes know this.


Haven't a clue...

Has anyone in more northerly latitudes seen it? I'm in S. Arizona, my Seattle friend says he doesn't see anything. (But when is the sky clear in Seattle?)


We have very clear winter skies in interior alaska. Yes we have the very bright
Whatever It Is (the Wii in the Sky . . .) Way brighter than anything else and
can be seen well past dawn. Have been watching it for a number of years now. Can't see it in the summer of course, but every fall when nights get dark again it seems to increase in intensity. We also have stationary red-and-blue
twinkly somethings in the NE sky, the NW sky and the SE sky. We have a cabin
with a very good view of the sky and NO light pollution and we watch the twinkly things all winter long. They are ALWAYS in the same spots.

And yes, the Whatever It Is doesn't seem to set. It just disappears. Have seen
this quite a few times, most notably at New Year's fireworks display. The
Wii was quite a ways up over the horizon, maybe 30 degrees, in the direction
the fireworks were being shot off. So it was very noticeable. When the fireworks show was over (about 20 minutes) it just completely vanished.

Is it true? Is their a Giant planet nibiru tugging at venus , pulling it closer to earth?

Never seen such a huge brighted star, can someone explain?

Shiiiit, they have us surrounded. We gonna have to dig folks.

I'm on the east coast of Canada, can see it more brightly around 3 or 4 in the morning. Bright as hell. Just look to the east before the sun comes up.

Actually, the stars that strobe/pulsate different colors are ships-yep, our cosmic brothers and sisters. If you look at them with a telescope you KNOW they are not stars, as a true star doesn't strobe. On any given night you can pick out 3 to 6 ships.....we are not alone, never have been.

I would like to believe that but then that would mean that programs like stellarium are being altered/tampered with.
