}---------))))))))*> Whats the bright light in the southeast?

You are right about Venus, sort of. Faux Venus will be up about 4:30 am. But it isn't Venus. Mars is covered with an object also. [link to www.youtube.com]

This was on Coast to Coast about an hour ago, objects mimicing stars.

SE Object - Check this out. We are on it ! Xtragal3 noticed it, and has videos here about it. I enhanced one of Xtragal's photos. It's there too.
New Strange STAR Show up
Thread: New Strange STAR Show up

Im going back out again and look at it

Its just as bright as Venus or bright Texas..its very strange

I'm going to have to wait until it moves more SW. I'm in an apartment complex, and SE viewing means going out in the dark around the corner. My gut tells me it would be safe, but my head says aaagggghhhh!

wow its brighter than any other star out there tonight

yea dont take any chances there Texas ..be safe

i just went outside and it is there, brighter than any.

I see it. Don't know what it is. Took some pictures, though.

Location: Southwest Chicago
Star Position: Southeast at about 45* up [I guess?? lol]

My area is very light polluted, so I can only see about 2 stars over head. Has a blue color to it. Vega?

Does that fish sing ?

Will do on the safe thing. My husband is off to work early, less than an hour. I'll take a look then.

It's Jupiter more than likely. Exremely bright in the SE at the moment, almost as bright as Venus.

the bass just lights up so far lol Texas

gonna have to add some singing for alot of people ask that


this star is just too bright and like to find out what it is..somebody should contac a astronmer and find out

Here is the Chicago sky map: [link to www.fourmilab.ch]

Not sure what time it is where you are, but Jupiter is visible from around 1am at the moment

Nice, but the object in the south east at the moment is most definitely Jupier.

if this were Jupiter, would it be this bright? I always saw it dimmer and yellowish but this is blue-whitish
