Craig Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 For several weeks now, while travelling home at night i have seen a light in the sky which is not a star.It is more of an orange colour than white, and is quite large compared to the stars.It remains stationary, so i'm not really sure what it is.Does anyone have any idea what it may be?I live in the Gloucester area.

Guest Nellie2 Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Its Mars...... oh.... gotta find a link on this. I know that Mars is the closest it has been to us for hundreds of years right now and the time you have been finishing work is about the optimum time for seeing it.

bvw Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Mars and Venus are nearly always there, you just think they're bright stars. If you get a clear cloudless night it's also possible to spot some satellites crossing the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 We could not believe the night sky a few years ago in Yosemite Nation Park in America. It was incredible, with no ground light to cause a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
