    In Sligo looking eastwards there is an exceptionally bright star in the sky. It is much lower to the horizon than any other star in the sky and indeed any star I have ever seen. I have also never seen a star in this position before as it instantly grabbed my attention and I am often out star gazing.

    It's the planet Jupiter.

    Download Google skymap app for android and iPhone. Point it at the sky and it identifies what stars etc you are looking at.
