what star or planet is that

[rodsky]

ITS HERE AGAIN!!!! look up to the southern sky!!! its somewhere SOUTH! on my west part if facing south...

It will be in that spot until around October 15-30, because it's about to overtake the earth na. So you won't see it after Oct. 15 in that part of the sky at this time.

And what people don't know is, even if hayag na siya, and murag LINGIN no? The truth is, it's NOT ROUND...it's shaped like a crescent right this moment, and if you have a decent telescope, you'll be able to see that crescent shape...



Again, the above photo is NOT the moon--that's how Venus looks like at this very moment--the only reason you see it like a bright star is because layo kaayo and you need a telescope for it to start looking like this photo.

At this very moment, Jupiter is beside the nearly-full Moon, so that's not what Leartes was talking about.

OOooooohhhh... amazing! i can only imagine how vast the outerspace is... or our world is just a speck of a greater world, maybe a pebble on some aliens' aquarium...

it looks like north star, its round with spikes but its bright yellow... and now its gone kay gi takban napud ug clouds... :-/ (i can tell its clouds kay maski dark didto dapita, mag kilat man behind the clouds so mo gawas ang silhouette sa clouds....)

if kanang star beside the moon is jupiter, then certainly dli gyud to jupiter ang ako gi cge ug tan-aw. ill try to bring my camera ugma nya ako picturan...

the moon and jupiter is right above me. but the bright yellow star is way down south.

its round with spikes but its bright yellow...

Again, dili na siya round Mura lang round kay layo kaayo. It actually looks like a little moon, as pictured above.

The ISS moves rapidly across the sky, it does NOT hang in one spot as if it's hovering--mura siya'g high altitude nga aircraft.

visible ba sa naked eye ang space station? i was at my younger years when i still saw the skylab (daw) sa probinsya. and some random satellite, karon. it moves. its amazing.

Yes, saw it once as it passed over Iligan City. Most people who aren't aware that it will pass over their area can easily mistake it for a "UFO" or other weird s*** because it does look weird--too fast for an airplane, and too slow for a meteor.

Take note, you would only be able to see the ISS if the pass occurs between 6-7pm or between 5-6AM--if it passes overhead on other time brackets, it's either too dark or too bright too see it.
