Nope, it's a puncture in your dome..
i was ready to bet on it being venus, but i did a check.................and i was right.
the picture is yesterdays sky, at 18.30...just before you posted, and if you look SW, BINGO.
good old venus.
even now when the sky is still light its one of the most common mistaken things for a UFO.

no, bumlove :hide:
atleast its nothing gay
Well here's an interesting twist, My Grandad rang up (he's big into astrology and physics) and said that its Sirius. He's a member of a specialist star watching thing and apparently its not Venus.
could be sirius is the brightest star i think
it just can be venus at that time, only at sunset-rise

Depends where or when you're looking. Venus is the most obvious object in the early night (or dusk) sky at the moment I believe. Brighter than sirius. Cue The Alan Parsons Project anyway though.
i place my bets in mars
or a comet that just wont strike the earth cause the luckiest person in the planet me is here
oh im so lucky lucky

Almost certainly Venus. It has phases like the moon, and because it orbits the distance varies by a massive amount, both of these effects make its apparent brightness vary a lot too.
I expect the current moon phase would play a part too, making it appear brighter than it normally is.
i thought in the first post mcintyrej said he was looking south west, so to my thinking he was seeing venus.
yes, sirius is bright and very low at the time, but its south east
its one of the two, depending which way you are looking, but for sure its not mars, a comet or the borg coming to assimulate us!
Just a question, with probably an obvious answer.
Why on the sky chart are East and West the wrong way around?
[edit]
Nevermind. I worked it out. If you lie with you head towards north, the West is on your right hand side... D'oh.

basically correct.
if you print out the sky chart and held it directly above you, the chart is correct, just as if you layed it on the floor and looked at it.......its "wrong" (east, west)

For any future questions about stars and beyond this program could be very useful for you: It's called "Stellarium", for free and open source - I've been using it for some years now and, like LFS, there's one or two updates a year. 
I have that somewhere on my PC come to think of it.
When you say arse do you mean the rear end becuase in different places arse means different things. If it does mean want i think it is yes my rea end hurts as i just went and had some Snowboarding lessons and i have a rear end that HURTS.
