Astronomy question

[Paskman]

It is Venus - the Morning (and Evening) Star.

Paskman's right, it's Venus. You can see Jupiter setting in the west late in the evening - that's the other bright one!

Correct answer.

aahh got it wrong, still jupiter is up there and visible

 

[Mellotron]

It's probably the Sun you're referring to. That's very bright.

incidently (sp?!) if it gets clear about 5:30am tomorrow morning we'll be able to see a Lunar Eclipse

Also on the 4th Jan Jupiter & Uranus (yes YOURanus) will pass very close to one another AND there's a partial eclipse of the Sun that day.

Google Sky on the Desire confirmed this morning that this very bright celestial was indeed Venus. I thought no-one would get any rest until they knew that.
