Next month, Jupiter will be called Jupiter, and Venus will be called Venus, same as this month, same as last month.

Because he only looked up the light online with stellarium and the other websites twice I can't say when the first time was but it was early Sept. (first weekend I believe), the second time he looked being yesterday. What do you think they will call it next month?
Did it ever occur to you that between those two times you checked, Jupiter might have become more prominent?
Just click the date setting on Stellarium and it will back up the date one day each time you click it. If you do one day a second it will only take 30 seconds to go back 30 days. I'm sure you'll see it didn't change any planet names, but I suspect you'd rather adhere to your misconceptions, than check it.

Everyone is saying it's Jupiter. Take a picture, it looks like it has eyes. I don't know. I swear you will see a shadowy figure too. And I can swear it has eyes. I deleted that picture but it shows the definition of an eye. Telling you. lol I think it's something else. What, I don't know.edit on 14-10-2011 by Manhater because: (no reason given)
No.

Again I ask are you saying that Venus last month was just as bright and on the same orbital path as Jupiter is this month?
It wasn't quite as bright a month ago, but the difference was small.

So by that logic Jupiter was just as bright last month as it is tonight? Did you go look at it? That explanation seems strange since Jupiter is supposed to be at it's brightest THIS month in fact in a couple weeks, not early Sept. So how did I get a picture of Jupiter in Sept.?

I thought this thread was about the moon.
You have spammed enough replies to make 20 so why not start a new thread about your mystery light.
I am sure everyone will love to read it, you could even post your pics.
Why break your track record now?

If I'm wrong oh well, but something tells me if you told an astronomer you got a picture of Jupiter last month they would laugh at you.
So the one planet you thought you were looking at in September, Venus, is the one that wasn't visible.
With some diligence, you can catch four of the five visible planets in September 2011. ... In their outward order from the sun, the visible planets are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. All but Venus are visible in September 2011.
It wasn't Venus.

Cause I'd rather do that than demean other people like you choose to.
