Is Sirius amazingly bright and twinkling Right now where you are?

Or is it just on the gulf coast of Florida. It's 80 degrees and not humid. It's just never seemed this vivid before. Was curious if it's bright eveywhere??

I'm in Windsor, Ontario and it's rainy and overcast here so I can't see much of anything.
I did last night, however, see something extremely bright and twinkly in the sky! It was BEAUTIFUL!!
I'm not much of an astronomer, but whatever it was sure was worth the hour I spent looking at it

I have seen something very bright as well. I wish I knew what it was.

Sirius is usually really bright around midnight. I am in Australia by the way. Every now and then when i wake up, i look out the window and see a really bright object, or dot, almost high in the sky. Well im assuming its Sirius, it could be a planet.

Is it possible you could post a pic, its just that i'm in Britain and i'll have to stay up quite late to see it.

ALS

yes

I have never seen it this bright and i frequent in the nocturnal outdoor life. Last night it was remarked upon in the company i was with.

It seems to be twinkling extremely brightly.

For those of you that don't know which star Sirius is - Find Orion's constellation and take the 2 bottom stars and draw a line Left to the next brightest star - that is Sirius star system

Take a picture!!!
second line...

Yes. Seems very bright in the American Southwest at 8:30p too. Tried a picture but don't have a tripod so it was hard to do without a squiggly.

Nope. It's cloudy here. We don't get many clear nights where I'm from... about 60 a year. Perhaps tonight is drier outside than it normally is in Florida? The reduction in moisture in the air would brighten it to your eyes.

That part of the sky is covered in patterned chem trails over where i live at the moment so i'll report later when they dissapate.

Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky..... but who knows, maybe it has changed somehow

There is not one small piece of scientific evidence anywhere in the world that suggests chemtrails exist.

Really? Seriously? This is a thread on Sirius and THIS is what you comment on? Take it to any number of the chemtrail/contrail debate threads.

Those kinds of statements won't wash anymore, you'll have to try much harder.

Ever heard of silver iodide cloud seeding ?

I think it has looked rather bright. L was viewing it in my telescope about a month ago.
It has been cloudy and rainy for about 3 weeks now, haven't been able to really view it now.
