Open question to the Forum - anyone know of a star’s death this morning?
I saw a very bright star out of the corner of my eye while outside, and turned to look at it. It was still bright, but very quickly faded away to almost nothing.
Time was 0547 MST, location was Ft. Huachuca - Southern AZ near the Mexican border - direction was NW - elevation was - I don’t know - 10 degrees above the horizon?
It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this. I’m accustomed to satellites moving in and out of the sun’s rays, but this body did not move. It just faded away to nothing.
Wow, neat, maybe a supernova, more likely a meteor headed straight for your face and burning up as it came.
