Every morning at about five in the morning, I can see a bright white light in the eastern sky. I'm in Boston. The light isn't there at night but is always there at five in the morning just before sunrise. I know its not a plane or helicopter. What is it that I'm looking at?

It's the planet Venus, which will be a "morning star" for many months to come. It reaches greatest brilliancy on September 23, and will be at greatest elongation (farthest from the Sun) on October 28. If you have binoculars, examine it closely: you should be able to see it as a tiny crescent, backlit by the Sun.

The very bright light you are seeing (aside from the Sun) is Venus.
Check it out with a pair of binoculars, because, depending where the planet is in its orbital relation to us will make it appear to go through phases like the Moon.
Cool!

It's Venus. But honestly, who gets up that early in the morning? Go back to sleep.
