It's weird, star gazing's not necessarily my thing but I was amazed how many stars there is tonight and how bright two of them are. Plus all the others are flickering like fook. There's bound to be someone on here that knows what they are.
stars twinkle planets don't. that's because stars emit their own light which gets refracted through space while planets only reflect light from the sun. as has already been said, the really bright object is venus & the other one below it is jupiter. the space station is also visible & that just reflects light from the sun as well.
