@home.se says... I see a bright star in the west looking with my naked eye.. . It's the only star i see. . What could it be? I live in sweden Possibly either of Altair in the constellation of Aquila, or Vega in Lyra. Plug your location into http://www.heavens-above.com and choose the 'whole sky chart' option, then go to the constellations option to find the names of the stars. -- ICQ 40628243 Tel 07092057581 Fax 07092308800 |

Bright star
very difficult to tell without knowing the time and date... but if it
appears due west and it's the only thing you can see, I'm going to guess Arcturus, in the constellation Bootes. Also, if this is the only thing you can see in the sky the light pollution must be terrible where you live If you can tell us the time at which you saw it, and how high above the horizon it was, just about anybody on this board will be able to tell you for sure right away.

As other stars become visible, look to the north and pick out the big dipper (it will be close to the horizon). Can you "follow the arc" of the handle back to the star? If so, its Arcturus. |
