Tis Venus for sure seen it every morning this week at around 0430 while running on Scout Scar with me dog, Have to say the sky`s this week both morning and night have been Fantastic, British summer time who needs it?
So back to the Planet VENUS http://nineplanets.org/venus.html
The older I get the Faster I was
Cheers Gents!
I was, I have to say, a bit disheartened at first by the replies... its
1)The space station
2) Venus
3) Jupiter
4) Your Anus ?? Spelling
Sorry,number four was a joke!
The whole question has now got me very intrigued. Having looked further it would seem it must be Venus. I had not really realised that so much was actually visible.
Cheers gents
Simon
PS the dogs wernt interested at aall
The Space Station is also very bright, like Venus but moves across the sky quickly in just a few minutes. The planets move against the background stars very slowly over months, hence the name (Greek for wanderer, also a song by Dion and the Belmonts).
Jupiter is currently visible in the UK in the early evening.
Your anus is obviously much weaker and so far away.
It's an interesting hobby, I was swept up as a boy in the Gemini and Apollo programmes in the '60s and used to watch Skylab fly over in the 70s till it crashed near Perth in Australia. Even stayed up through the night to watch Apollo 11 land on the moon in '69, exciting days.

I think I saw Venus last night.
Either that Or grouse had left his shed light on.
Maybe it was Uranus?

Lovely view of the Milky Way on Friday night from Shelf Moor.

Bad jokes aside, On clear nights like we've just had it's easy to see satelites. Thet look like stars but move across the sky with out any flashing lights.Originally Posted by goldsim1963
Talking of all things celestial, There's a thick freezing fog in the valley around us and we are just on the upper edge of it and whilst watching the Ashes I've just observed an eerie moon appearing to rise through it, very spooky..!
Ian or anyone
Whats that small cluster of about 7 or 8 stars that are very close together like in a little ring. Ive been looking at that lately.
You would think Grouse would know
Orion's Belt maybe?
I've just decided I don't trust you anymore.
