Is there a website for a reference?

Last night around 9:00 EST on the East Coast of the USA I saw a very bright object. It was about about 12 degrees above the left cresent side of the moon. Maybe 30 degrees off the horizon. It's magnatude was outstanding. Brighter then I have seen in a great time. If I had to guess I would say maybe a -2 or more. It was much brighter then any star in the sky last night. I did not have a compass so I could not know the direction it was, I also did not have a sextant to measure the size. But if you looked up last night, around 9:00 you would have seen it no doubt. Anybody have any ideas as to what it might be?
Thanks

Last night I was watching stars through a sky light and noticed as I was moving my eye away from one star, it ended up getting brighter. In other words, once the star was out of my main vision and off to the blurry area of my eye sight, the star got way brighter. Have I discovered a new thing or am I getting false results through the sky light or are peoples eyes just designed like that?

As we see the space we see just black color that we called it darkness. But what it is really and how it is formed??

Ok, here is how it works: we look at a galaxy though a big telescope.We measure the density of stars in different parts of the galaxy in question. Then we measure the doppler shift, and corresponding rotational speed for different areas of the galaxy.


Now we notice a real problem; the galaxy rotates too fast. In fact our theories predict that in order to rotate as fast as it does, our galazy needs to be twice as large, and have about ten times as much mass as we have just measured. Try as we may, we just cant account for the "missing mass."


Ok, no sweat, Its probably just an anomaly. So we measure the galaxy again with different equipment, we collect twice as much data. We measure lots of other galaxies. It's the same story everywhere, galaxies rotating way to fast, and we can't find any of the "missing mass".


Ok, so either our measurements are wrong, or our theory is wrong. But our theory can't be wrong! So all that extra matter must be there, we just can't find it!...

will man ever exceed the speed of light beacause if we want to do some serious space exploration we will need to go at least that fast because it would take forever to get from one place to another

If you can stand say 500 miles away from the Sun how bright would it look?
What im trying to get at is does brightness just get more and more whiter? Like increasing the watts in a lightbulb?

What is the limit as how bright something can get? What would it look like if you didn't go blind.

Based on medical advances through research on space, is the funding of the space program justified? Why or why not?

Children in Year 6 were doing an experiment about shadows and light. The experiment was to prove that the nearer a light source was to an object, the larger the shadow. So the question of shadows being shorter at noon and longer at sunrise and sunset came up.

Obviously the astronaut would need a source of air on the moon but what would happen to their body aside from the moon getting very, very cold or very, very hot from the lack of atmosphere.

Crescent is for "new moon". What single word name is there for "full moon", that is the moon of two weeks? Similarly what do they call to "1 weeks moon" and "three weeks moon". Is there any particular name for a moon between three and four weeks? or this too is a crescent?
I am particularly interested in a single word name for "two weeks moon", either from literary english, or from astrology, or astronomy; or any englisized language (say greek, latin etc.)

Might anyone know- Is there anyway to view what Hubble is viewing in live time on the web? Would enjoy doing it once just to do it, so not looking for something too expensive
