Need help in finding out some info pleeease.

[Ollienttm]

My neighbours are from Bermuda and caught me looking out(trying to) my scope the other night and after a few hours of talking astro nonsense they tell me in Bermuda in the mornings there used to be a star that rose with the sun calling it "the morning star" and wondered if it was a star or a planet. I said I will try to find out for them but have come up with no conclusive evidence. I used stellarium and if my co-ordinates are right "could" be Venus but was hoping one of you smarter folk on here would either know or help me in my quest to find out?

Many thanks for anyone taking enough time to read and/or reply

Venus used to be known as the "morning star" in winter and the "evening star" in summer

Ahh so I was right then it is Venus, thanks

I think it's the morning star when you see it in the morning and the evening star when you see it in the evening. I don't think it is actually seasonal.

You could be right kniclander - those are just the approx times I've seen it in the 3yrs since I took up the hobby lol
