Has anyone else noticed that extraordinarily bright lamp up there in the sky?

If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about... and it ain't Venus... ;)

It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . .

Jupiter... and it looks good, the moons also show up nicely if you use a camera with zoom, even better through a telescope..

Jupiter... and it looks good

Thank you! And yes, it looks spectacular... ;)

(Although, I was kinda hoping that it was PlanetX... Oh well, maybe next time.)

Have you had a chance to look through binoculars or a telescope.?


Planet X ?... lucky it is not.. according to legend thats supposed to have a brown dwarf sun.... and anything as big as a brown dwarf entering this system would blow this place apart, it would take out most of the inner planets as it swung around our sun on its way through, the gravity distortions from two suns would upset all the planets orbital paths and our inner ones might just do either a sun-dive in the process, or perhaps a flick out to another orbit and freeze to death... and the earthquakes resulting from orbital disruption would sink most of the planet anyway..goodnight mankind.

if the effect of our own sun keeps pluto (a long way out) attached imagine what two suns crossing their paths would do... personally I imagine 10 pin bowling on a solar scale would be close to it.

Being a life long apartment dweller, I gave away my telescope several years ago... I wish I hadn't done that... ;)

(When I bought it, I was living in an apartment with a roof top patio.)
