Light in the sky...

We have "noticed" it, between these times, and I didn't mean to indicate that it is stationary in the sky. I have never seen it rise, but I am sure it must. At 3AM it is fairly high in the sky, but I have never stayed up later to see it set. We watched last night, as the Earth rotated, and this golden "star" moved along the top of the apt. building we live in. As usual Min's advice is misleading, to say the least. You're almost certainly seeing the planet Mars, which is approaching opposition (which it will reach near the end of August) and so rises around sunset. Try looking ESE near the horizon just a little earlier in the evening and you should see it shining steadily while the stars around it are 'twinkling' -- this effect is characteristic of planets. --Odysseus |
