Can you tell what it is yet?
Rhys Fullerton photographed this mysterious object high in the sky over Mansfield Place last night, and is pretty sure he knows its identity.
It’s Venus, he reckons. Or a satellite. Or something stuck to the camera lens.
In the photo below you may just be able to make it out in context: a tiny white dot about halfway down the diagonal between Moon and tree.
We reckon Fullerton was right with his first stab in the dark, as suggested by astronomer Brian Cox on Monday.
