See it on NASA's siteWhat is that light in the sky? If it's moving or blinking, and you're near a city, it's likely an airplane. Few stars or satellites are bright enough to be seen over city lights. If you're far from a city and it's not moving, it's probably a planet like Venus or Mars. Venus is usually brighter.
