| Spotted it and I think it's the Turkish spy satellite which hangs over TRNC all the time. It's more visible at different times of the nights during the year.

| suggest googling: astronomy "bright star low in east "
It's either Jupiter or Venus... depending WHERE you look |

| At 03:06 this morning it would have been Jupiter.
Venus would not have been visible until nearly two hours later. |

| The spy satellite suddenly appears from the East at 02.30, too bright for a star or a Planet.

| For anyone with an iphone / android phone interested in such things check out the google sky app. You can hold up your phone to the night sky and it will map all the stars you should be able to see, based on your loaction and which way you are pointing the phone. As you move the phone around the sky it will change the display of what you can see. |

| re: Message 6 Brinsley....
I was driving home at 2.30am so I saw it in the sky large and bright
is that true that it 'just appeared' around that time and was not visible before?? |
