Question

I see a very bright staring the sky west of Naperville. Does anyone else see it and know what star that might be? It's been there for over an hour only slightly different place.  

Answer 1

Yes, it's Venus.  

Answer 2

I saw that last night when I went to walk the dogs. Venus is extra bright these days

Answer 3

I did not see that. Moon was very bright and big yesterday night but I did not noticed other one. Probably its because of super clean weather due to factories closure.  

Answer 4

Yes, very bright and have been wondering the same.  

Answer 5

Could be Atlas Comet

Answer 6

I use an app on my phone called Night Sky and it helps me identify the stars. But I agree you were seeing Venus.

Answer 7

Definitely Venus! It was gorgeous.  

Answer 8

I see it every night from out front porch. It’s moved about 25° in the past month or so. So bright!  

Answer 9

There’s a free app called sky guide that is handy to identify objects. You just point your phone in the direction of whatever you’re looking at and the app will let you know.  

Answer 10

Use the “star chart” app.
