Isn't it Mercury, the brightest planet?  I was able to see it from where I 
am at the computer 20 minutes ago.

Subject: [NatureNS] star in the west


Hi Everyone:


There is a very bright object that can be seen in the west of the city of 
Halifax.  If you look out to the west  you cannot miss it. Very large, very 
bright and it seems to flicker.   For the astronomers or star gazers on this 
list, it there a planet or a particular object that is supposed to pass by 
close to us?  It seems to be stationary thus I think I can rule out aircraft 
but perhaps a satellite of some sort perhaps.


I don't have a spotting scope and my bino are not giving me any real looks. 
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what it may be?
