How I Wrote Elastic Man 1,331 Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Possibly Venus? Appears early morning or evening, very bright EDIT - if it's in the east it won't be venus Edited March 27, 2020 by How I Wrote Elastic Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 8,034 Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) The brightest is Venus https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/night/ It is now above the horizon in the NW and sets at 11pm If there is something very bright in the east you may havr seen a UFO😀 Edited March 27, 2020 by ricardo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
How I Wrote Elastic Man 1,331 Posted March 27, 2020 Venus appears in the east just before sunrise, or in the west just after sunset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 5,246 Posted March 27, 2020 The 3rd brightest object in the sky tonight will be the International Space Station. It will pass over Norwich from west to east at 7.42pm and again at 9.17pm. It moves slightly faster to the eye than a plane and will be visible for three minutes and one minute respectively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted March 27, 2020 Venus shines incredibly brightly in the sky at the moment, clearly visible long before anything else in the evening/ night sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 6,149 Posted March 27, 2020 It's in the east. It has been there for the last 2 nights. Don't think it's the space station as it doesn't appear to be moving. Internet says it may be Sirius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,572 Posted March 27, 2020 I think it's Jupiter, Mars and Saturn all in conjunction.......In a cluster thing alignment doo dah thingumybob..... Or possibly a gargantuan rogue asteroid that's on collision course with Earth - that will strike and wipe out humanity in 2 weeks.....That's why the New World Order (Our ruling Lizards & Shape shifters) who will escape in a Rocket ark thingy to Mars before impact and who have also created this placebo virus to get everyone isolating in their homes before sudden impact....(suppress the mass panic).... Joking apart....it's really an alien mother-ship surrounded by ickle alien spaceships full of narsty gobble u up creatures......Earth's their human food motorway service stop whilst on their way to another galaxy......and quite frankly, I'm scared..... 😱👽 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 6,149 Posted March 27, 2020 I have read all your suggestions and I've looked at the Internet. I've decided it's very complicated and I'm not going to look in the sky at night again because it makes my brain hurt. 1 minute ago, Van wink said: Fantastic view of it tonight You posted this as I was writing.

dylanisabaddog 6,149 Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) It's not the space station because it isn't moving. It's been there for ages. It's directly above the moon so Frank is the winner. It's Venus On the plus side no one had to watch Question of Sport Edited March 27, 2020 by dylanisabaddog 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
