Weird Star in Sky - What is it?

[hirschfelder]

I noticed a really bright star in the sky, out where there were no other stars. I thought it might be a plane as it's on a flight path, but it hasn't moved.

So I got the binoculars out and had a shufty, it looks like a planet. Does anyone know which one it is?

I'm in Leeds and it's more-or-less in the West

Not really a conspiracy, but some of you know your stuff when it comes to astronomy and I'd be interested to find out which planet it is

[croatiancoffee]

Yeah, I can see it. Venus I think, not that Im an astronomer.

Yeah I did some digging and it's Venus. Pretty cool tho. You can see it really well through binoculars

This would be Venus from my location, at around 7PM. This is from the freeware program called stellarium. Well worth checking out.

You have to put in your latitude & longitude , and time. And it will show you the sky from your position.

Yes my friend,

You can put in any time, location, and date - and see the sky at that time & place.:D

[croatiancoffee]

Downloaded. Seems better to go outside and look. :rolleyes:

[element]

It's been there for around 2 months...

[hewrote]

Venus. typically the bright morning star or evening star. I've been viewing Venus on my walk home from work. BRIGHT!!!!

What has? Venus? :confused:

[element]

What has? Venus? :confused:
Its brightness as it is now.

If you use a telescope, you'll see it as a crescent. Of course it always does appear as a crescent in our sky due to it being closer to the sun. For it to be full, the sun would have to be behind us, shining directly onto it, but since it is closer, it would have to be on the opposite side of the sun to see that. I've seen pics that others have taken through a telescope, but don't own a telescope myself, and really want to get a good one. Maybe start moon watching to look for those lunar anomalies (UFOs etc.)!

[jesta_g]

Yes my friend,

LOL ! just been doing it, its amazing :D


i couldnt resist it, i had to put in 21/12/2012 ...... whoa !!! im glad i did, you see a complete planetary allignment! throughout the whole day.

Mars/the sun/mercury/venus/neptune/saturn in a perfect line across the sky.

view obviously changes in relation to where you are on the planet however no matter where this allignment is there.

also, the sirius constellation forms a huge "cross" with some other constellations.

N3 Ori - top (of the cross)
betelgeuse - left
Rigel - right
Sirius - bottom

orions belt runs down the middle towards Sirius.

How did you take a screen shot?


check that date dude, theres some interesting planet - star formations. Im definatly going t learn how to use this better.

Very exciting to think of other dates to put in. for example 9/11/01 etc


JOOOOOY!

[element]

You just triggered my curiosity, Jesta.

Time to get it! ;)

I have a telescope, but the damn thing wobbles around to much. I want one of those computer scopes!

Jesta,

On your keyboard you should see a key called "Print Screen". If you press that, and the go to your photo or paint program, and then find the paste function, you should see your screen shot.

[jesta_g]

ahhhh ! how do i take screen shots? so many dates im checking out with very interesting allignments.


im currently looking at sept 11 2001 at 9:11 am.


Jupiter/the moon / and saturn are all inline

jupiter is in gemini (the twins)

the moon is in the centre and Saturn ("Satan") is in Taurus (Taurus being the bull which is also associated with the ancient symbol of Molech, Molech being a symbol and "god" of sacrifice)

what does Jupiter symbolise, im so sure its to do with "the mountain" (Olympus) Zeus etc whos son was Hercules aka the Pillars of Hercules?

lol ok i may be going down some irrational tunnel with that last bit there however there is something to this.

we know that the elite cause events etc on specific dates and allignments. Its to do with the electromagnetic energy caused by the stars/planets/sun etc allignments on specific dates.

Sorry that im not being to technical with this but my attention is mostly on playing with this Stellarium :D loving it.

Note: i added the line showing jupiter /moon/saturn in line and those arrows just to point out that Orion is directly below in centre and where Sirius is also.... first time so nothing fancy :p

Jesta as Howie suggets, pressing CTRL+S while in stellarium will take a screenshot. Its better as it just takes the programs screen, and not the rest of the desktop.

It should put the file on the desktop ready for use. The upload and post method, is still the same. :D

Is it a star though. If it does not twinkle its a planet. If it is over the west at sundown then it will be Venus probably, if it is later on the possibly jupiter

yip yip just about to! :D

even better than i thought..... youll see...... (psst EVERY planet is lined up! on 21/12/2012)

gimme a few mins im just uploading the pics :)

[dlb2007]

can you check the sky allignment of christs birth... see the star etc and all that, then could you cross ref that with a future date, to possibly get an idea of the return of christ.

[jesta_g]

Here we go :D

this is the alignment of the moon/sun and planets on dec 21st 2012. The date is just at the bottom-middle of the screen.

Ive got the green line running through them and red arrows pointing at planets etc just in case some miss it.

lol sorry for the wait.



ok so be there some "shift" whatever in 2012 (im still open to whether it will or wont happen) one thing is for sure it is interesting and seems somewhat important that there is this specific allignment on this date. (21/12/2012).

any thoughts?


has anyone thought of or checked any other interesting dates?

sorry OP if you would like this seperate convo moved onto another thread i cool with starting a new thread so you can continue with your original point :)

o000o nice one :)

what date specifically should i put in for "Christs" birth? ive heard of many ideas for his DOB.

also then what future date.

[hewrote]

Is it a star though. If it does not twinkle its a planet. If it is over the west at sundown then it will be Venus probably, if it is later on the possibly jupiter


Jupiter IS massive, but if it starts to shine as brightly as Venus....RUN!!!!!!!:)
Venus is truly unmistakeable,

"of course you are my bright little star!"

[dlb2007]

o000o nice one

what date specifically should i put in for "Christs" birth? ive heard of many ideas for his DOB.

ok well i think we all concour that it wasnt 25th December.

Check dates between 1st sep 1 AD and 31st october 1AD

going to find the date of his death also

[dlb2007]

CHRISTs Death: Friday, April 3, 33AD @ 3pm

RESSURECTION: April 5th 33AD @ 4am

[dlb2007]

had a quick look at the death and resurection on that software, dont know what i am looking for but i put the art on. At the Precise time of Christs death, there is a few things that strike me.

1. is that a serpent seems to be rising out of the ground
2. That A dragon seems to be falling to the earth.
3. A crow or a raven seems to be riding on the back of the serpent, a crow or raven is often associtated with death.

on the resurection

1. At the top there is a couple of birds flying
2. next to them is pegasus also on the wing

dont know much.....anything lol

[comawhite015]

Isn't the Gregorian calendar wrong for the supposed birth of christ by minus five to seven years? I do know that 0ad is inaccurate.

Might want to factor that in.
