    Hey guys Im just wondering if anyone could tell me the name of this star or tell me if its a planet or somthing.

    I just popped my head out the window to look up at what is quite a beautiful night tonight,Not jam packed with stars as of the moons brightness tonight but is stilll quite scenic.

    But yeah its very bright,white and in the skys to the south.

    Thanks :)

    That would be Jupiter you are looking at Seloth. Bit of a night owl are we?

    If your interested there are plenty of free utilities to familiarise yourself with the sky, might i suggest http://www.stellarium.org/
