Has anyone noticed a particularly bright planet in the night sky at the moment? And does anyone know which planet it is?

I think Ive read somewhere about a satellite or space station being visible. Could be wrong though

If it's a spacestation then it's the Death Star! Actually, stand down: I looked it up, it's Jupiter. Really bright right now.

Me and my fake memories, sorry dude. You'd love 'sky map' for Android phones.

3:51AM Wed, September 01 2010

I certainly would. Alas, my phone is steam-powered and wouldn't know what to do with Android. Worship it as a god probably.

Ive only used sky map once or twice but was seriously impressed with it, like having Patrick Moore in your pocket :D

When you consider Jupiter's about 400m miles away you get an idea of how big it must be.

Did you see the Brian Cox series 'wonders of the solar system'? Some amazing facts and explanations of size, makes you feel small.

Voyager 1 has been travelling away from us at 40,000mph for 30 years. It's 0.02% of the way to the nearest star.

It's mind boggling how insignificant we are, but most people think they are the centre of the universe.

4:13AM Wed, September 01 2010

This http://bit.ly/ictrt is the sort of thing I wish we'd had when I was at school. Truly gob-smacking.

Wow and Pluto isn't even half way to the edge of our solar system - frightening numbers, truly staggering. Great experiment too :D

4:33AM Wed, September 01 2010

Jupiter was very bright as of a few days ago. That's my best guess.
