Right now(4:00AM) in Wyoming, in the north eastern part of the sky, just above the horizon there is a HUGE bright star that seems to pulsate(twinkle)
When I first saw it I thought it was a UFO! It is very prominent in the sky. Does anyone know if this is a planet or just a very large star? Okay I admit I have been up all night but I'm not seeing things LOL:D

That is our neighbor Venus. Last week it was gorgeous: it was right "next to" the moon.
