I found it, it's just looks like a bright, Orange star.

Makes you think about the scale of things, The mind boggles...

Really interesting (y)

Everytime you want to put things in perspective, take a look at the "pale blue dot" photo.

every time i get a bill from the student loan collectors i print that picture out and mail it to them in the return envelope. they don't seem to appreciate it though...

well you'd need to have known where to look. it was the only star in that area of the sky though really. below and to the left of two regular bright stars, which happens to be the edge of gemini or something!

I have google sky map on my phone so I'll have a look at that.

According to that it has some way to come up round the sky before its visible. And then the cloud would have to clear so I don't think it'll be that easy to see.

With a clear sky and a pair of cheap binoculars you'll be able to see Uranus tonight (y)
