I saw a bright star low but not too low in the northwest but i dont know which star it is nor in which constellation, it was flashing from red to blue, could you tell which star it is please?
Question asked by: knowitall
If it was very bright, it is likely that it was a planet - in which case the best candidate is Venus, however there is also a possibility it could have been Jupiter.
Without exact co-ordinates of course it is hard to say for sure; anyone else any other ideas?
