Atomix Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm asking other people from the UK only but can you see a bright star in the sky? I think it's a star because it is extremely bright and you can even see the spikes of light come off it, I would take a photo but I can't get it on photo. Can any of you see it?

Skuldur Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 It's most likely Venus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG. Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yes, I live in Denmark but that's not too far away from UK so yeah... I can see it too, in fact, I'm looking at it now, and I'm guessing it's either: 1.) A supernove far, far away2.) Some bright star3.) Umm... I'm no space professor!!!

Right, I forgot that the star closest to us is the only star in the sky. All the other little white things up there are snowflakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
