DommyDevil18 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 One thing I look forward to every Spring and Summer is that my favourite Zodiacal Constellation of Scorpio makes his appearance and I always cant help but look at the brightest star Antares and its Planet that I named Naomi which is said to be a Hot Jupiter I have a picture of an Artistic impression of the two objects.

DommyDevil18 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 As far as we know not yet here is the story on how it was found I was looking at Antares in the low October 2012 skies and I noticed it was blinking so I sent a thesis in and this came back October 2013 with it being confirmed but I named it Naomi in the July of 2013 after a dear friend I know in my college class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DommyDevil18 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Does the planet have any Moon's...??At this moment no however with Spring and Summer literally around the corner I can observe and then say yes. It wouldnt surprise if it has but like I said I can only tell you when I properly observe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazC Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Is this observable with a 10" dob? Or would I need to use a professional scope remotely? D.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey-T Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 All academic from my obs'y, if the neighbouring Leyandii keep growing at this rate I'll be lucky to see Altair in the South.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Drew Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Isn't there a legal limit to the height of Leylandii where they cause impedance to view or light?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You SAW visually the planet occulting the star so you wrote a thesis on it which has been accepted? Got a link to that thesis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakalwe Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It must have been some planet to occult Antares AND for it to be visible...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 OK, this has gone far enough, this is clearly a fanciful tale with little or no basis in fact, thread locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
