jmurray01 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well I'm a new member and am very interested in astronomy!I am 14 years old, have my own Car Valeting service, enjoy working on cars, fixing computers etc...I have just found out that the "star" I have been seeing for the past few months in the Western sky is the planet Venus! I find that very amazing.I am currently reading "Parallel Worlds" by Michio Kaku and think he is a great physicist and explains facts fantastically in his book! That's about it, bye!P.S. Is there any other planets visable in the sky I could look out for ? I'm in Scotland by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Baby Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Jupiter - its the brightest object in the sky at the moment. You could also download Stellarium for your PC - its a free bit of software that runs a kin of planetarium on the PC. Easy to use and will allow you to identify objects your seeing.ANyway - welcome to the forum and wishing you clear skies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
