Maybe I know really absolutely nothing about astronomy. I can find the Big Dippe

I'm going to have to guess that it is Venus. But I have never seen so many

Just woke up my 9 year old and asked him

He said it’s more vibrant when it’s lower in the sky

I'll Google this

He may have been lying to get me out of his room

Not an astronomer but my daughter is & think it might be a satellite. Her phone's off after 10pm but

Looks more northeast to me.

Hmm Sure it could be. It was to the NW for me & that's what Goliath said too.

I remember the first time I saw it while flying in an airplane. I was convinced it was another airplane with its landing
