The question was posted on February 7, 2011. That's important to mention, because
that bright thing won't be there for too much longer.
You're looking at the planet Venus ... the third brightest object in the sky, outshined
by only the sun and the moon.
If you can watch it every morning at sunrise, then over a period of several days or weeks,
you'll see it seem to stay there and stay there and stay there while the stars slither past
it and get lost behind the sun. In the process, the waning crescent moon will slip by,
on one side of Venus on the morning of 2/28 and on the other side on 3/1, and then
the moon will be gone behind the sun. But Venus will seem to stay so motionless
that it'll still be in practically the same spot when the moon comes around again,
on 3/31.
Venus will stay put until almost the end of April, and then suddenly, it'll start to
fall daily toward the sun, and eventually disappear behind it. Then, it'll slip behind
the sun, and emerge to show up in the evening, easy to see at sunset by late in
the Summer.
If you can't stick around to see all of that, here are a couple of tid-bits to go along
with Venus right now:
-- Pluto is right next to Venus in the sky, but you can't see Pluto without a serious
telescope. That's why it wasn't discovered until 1930.
-- While you're gazing at Venus in the southeast, swing over to the southwest
for a moment. The bright thing up in that direction is the planet Saturn. If you
have a set of binoculars, you'll be able to see what looks like love-handles on
Saturn ... definite bulges on each side. With a serious telescope, you'd be able
to see that the bulges are the famous rings of Saturn.

The south star
after a nova star becomes bright it turns into a dwarf and explodes.
The apparent magnitude of Deneb is +1.25, a fairly bright bright star from Earth.
That means how bright the star really is. The "absolute magnitude" is defined as how bright the star would look if it were at a standard distance from us.
You can trust your car to the man who wears the star - the big, bright Texaco star!
Firethorn is one shrub that has bright orange berries in Maine during the month of July.Specifically, the above-mentioned name (Pyracantha spp) functions as one of the shrub's beloved common names. It is an introduced plant in Maine since its native range comprises southeast Europe eastward to Southeast Asia. Depending upon the species, pyracantha will produce orange, red or yellow berries in summer after a white-flowered blooming from late spring to early summer.
