Originally posted by divegeesterI seen it today and wondered what it was. Around 4 am in Wyoming, USA
From London region it's about 30 degree up in an Easterly direction. It's bloody huge. (edit that was about 2 hrs ago)
Anyone enlighten as to what it is please?

If you want to be 100% sure look again at september 2 when it gets dark. The "star" just below the moon and a little bit to the right is Jupiter.

Sorry, I don't see the problem. diveggester reported seeing an evening star and I replied that it was probably Jupiter. flyUnity reported seeing a star at 4AM and I said that was Venus.
Are we talking about a different object?
