a very bright star
-
wish i got a telescope
-
Got binoculars?
-
aso no
-
Same. If have binoculars should be able to see better, since it's so bright.
But I wonder which star is brighter than Sirius.
Sirius is the brightest star that we can see with our naked eye.
I'm betting it's something that we don't know. -
is it still there?
-
From my area, yes.
-
wish i could see it from my area
mayb its a supernova from very far away -

don't be silly lah. sirius is too far away to be seen with the naked eye. even if you've telescope, you also can't tell which star out of the zillions out there is sirius. definetly not by judging the brightness, since the human eye's color absorption has a limit and anything brighter than a certain level will all appear with the same brightness.
Sirius is the brightest star that we can see with our naked eye.
anyway, if you check Wikipedia, Sirus is the brightest star in the universe known to date. the only kinds of object that are yet a zillion times even brighter than Sirius are the Quantums, but scientists now still dunno much about these mysterious objects. -
Sirius (á CMa / á Canis Majoris / Alpha Canis Majoris) (IPA: [ˈsɪ.ɹi.əs]) is the brightest star in the night-time sky, with a visual apparent magnitude of −1.47. It is located in the constellation Canis Major. Sirius can be seen from almost every inhabited region of the Earth's surface (those living north of 73.284 degrees cannot see it) and, in the Northern Hemisphere, is known as a vertex of the Winter Triangle. The best time of year to view it is around January 1, when it reaches the meridian at midnight.Originally posted by Nikar2:don't be silly lah. sirius is too far away to be seen with the naked eye. even if you've telescope, you also can't tell which star out of the zillions out there is sirius. definetly not by judging the brightness, since the human eye's color absorption has a limit and anything brighter than a certain level will all appear with the same brightness.

Under the right conditions, Sirius can be observed in daylight with the naked eye. Ideally the sky must be very clear, with the observer at a high altitude, the star passing overhead, and the sun low down on the horizon.[4]
What to the eye appears as a single star is actually a binary star system, consisting of a bright white main sequence star of spectral type A0 or A1, named Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion, named Sirius B.

seems like u need to check with ur wikipedia again

Might be planets too.Originally posted by mhcampboy:If its not blinking or twinkling, then its not a star...

Could be planets. Last time i saw this bright orange thing, looks a bit bigger than the other stars. Should be mars.
-
