Where I live we see stars moving at night - they move and jump around until they reach a certain point in the sky and then they seem to remain fixed in one spot. I see this every night and it is really weird but so very fascinating - is this possible?

You're using the wrong kind of mushrooms on your salad. Eventually the effects wear off and you see the same sky as we do.

I once saw on Nova (PBS science show) where through an infrared telescope scientists documented planets getting sucked into a blackhole the planets, within minutes, spiraled around the hole and disappeared very cool, but i doubt you saw that - you probably saw something, but i don't know what

The way you explain it is like the way the stars look like they move and jump when you stare at them. You would know what that is if you stare at the stars a lot and you havent eliminated it... But if you dont mean that then yeah i havent seen them move like that but if i look at the stars at night here in scotland i see stars moving across the sky in one direction. I once saw 2 coming right at each other and flew past each other really close. Not sure if its sattelites though, they say there about 20,000 dead sattelites floating in our orbit.

where i live the same phenomenon occurs.i live in greece.it has been years that we observe this things.we also have seen them in certain positions while moving.it was on august of 1999 clear sky there where 4 moving together * * * * 3 creating a triangle and 4 or 5 solo moving.i also saw one last night.the thing is that they dont stop moving.its the angle that makes you think that.no star no satelites no airplanes no nothing could be doing this.keep observing dude.it has nothing to do with luckj also.it happens every night.get a video camera or a webcam in thje right position and let it rec.

There could be a mirage effect happening. If there is a column of heated air rising from the ground at night it could possibly distort the even movement of stars across the sky above it. I've never noticed it but it is possible. It would be similar to the effect of driving down a desert highway and seeing "puddles" that arent there.

dead satilites makes perfect sense. what is your explanation?

I would guess that what you are seeing is just typical atmospheric disturbance, and that the stars will become more steady when they are closer to being directly overhead, because there is less atmosphere between you and the edge of the atmosphere in direct line-of-sight with the star. But just to be sure, are you saying that these stars are moving with respect to other stars? In other words, are they moving faster than the other ones around them? If so, then I don't know what that would be... they couldn't really be stars or planets if they are doing that.

I've seen that too many times, tought I was drunk or something, but where I live (Mexico) it happens around 3 or 4 a.m. depends on the season. I see them move in the center of the sky (like looking right up)... They kinnda go from one hemisphere to the other, like a spider doing its web, in circular motions, from outer rings to center rings. My logical explanation is that close to the ecuator we see our milky way galaxy like in a vertical plane, not horizontal like it appears in the photos. At the beggining of the night we see one quadrant of the sky, as the night progresses, the earth rotates and since its axis is at 23.5 degrees it makes the stars seem to shift accroos the sky from one quadrant to the other. In other words the stars might be in one side of the sky and one by one they makes an U shape movement that lasts like 3 seconds or so, ending on the other side.

I've seen it too. I'm in California. I saw three stars moving together in a line. Then I saw another bright star move back and forth. They don't stop either. This is biblical: Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences, and fearful sights and GREAT SIGNS SHALL THERE BE FROM HEAVEN. (Luke 21:10-11) And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (Luke 21:15) And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (Luke 21:27) Jesus is coming back soon and the world will end! He loves you so much! called2besaints.com

Light is bent by many liquids and gases if not all liquids and gases as it passes through them. Warm and cold liquids/gases reflect light at different angles compared to each other because of their densities. Warm air rising and mixing with cooler air causes different densities in the air. This causes twinkling and the appearance that the stars are jumping around. You can see this effect in the heat waves coming up from hot pavement. You can also see how close together these heat waves (dense and less dense air) can be.

i think its totally normal if you take the time to look in the sky at night you should see these star like objects moving i think they could be satellites or even space junk but sometimes these star like objects have changed direction which is cool because that opens new doors to what it could be...

ive seen this too in, i live in california. it happens here about 2 or 3 am....go check it out.....you have to actually look.....i will have to try and video it but my camera sucks so.......just check it out...

I see them too I live in south Florida;these things are real and they are not stars,airplanes,meteors,or satellites. they're every where at night, have patience look up and you will see what resembles a star but it moves in circles and changes directions all the time, you will be surprised.
