It seems that there was a really big one in December
NASA - Biggest Full Moon of the Year
I wasn't aware that it looks bigger sometimes - called Perigee Moon
The link explains it

Re: bright light
 
Right now, venus is at 0h 16 43.0s x 5 deg 9' 0.0"
so could quite possibly be Venus,but i know the ISS has been visible for last couple of months

Re: bright light
 
I'm pretty sure its Venus too, think its usually the brightest object we see. You can see sirius "the dog star" too but thats not quite as bright!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: bright light
 
its not the ISS that travels very fast, not stationary like a planet/star appears to

MargaretR 11-02-2009 11:32

Re: bright light
 
It won't be the secret Planet X - that is sneaking in - and is only visible in the Antarctic using infrared

Well maybe you should do what you usually do.. all get dressed up.. go to the top of the Coppice.. and stand in a big circle holding hands .. and wait for the "Mother Ship" to take you to the new world!

Re: bright light
 
The weather's so freaky.

We've had snow in winter, and the Australian summer has been hot enough for fires to spread.

Whatever next?

Showers in April?

Where will it all end?

:D

Increased occurances of freak weather and natural disasters are the build up to a polar shift which is likely in 2012:end:

Where are they going to shift too?

It could solve drought problems in Africa if the North Pole relocates to Ethiopia, say.
