Asked by flo (13313points) November 16th, 2016

Was there a small, bright, white, maybe irregularly (clouds obstructing the full view) shaped motionless object far away from the Super Moon around 5 pm EST?

If twas bright and bigger than a star, it would be a local object. Where was it sighted from?

I’m not sure, I didn’t hear anything about where it was sighted.

Venus appears very bright in the setting sun area of the sky. This would be opposite the full moon. I found this page that looks interesting

I’m not sure. It is bright. It’s sometimes called The Evening Star because if you are admiring a sunset, you often spot it as it is in the South/SouthWest of the sky.

You can get an app if you have a smart phone for star gazing. You hold the phone towards the area of sky and on screen it tells you the names of the stars and planets that you are looking at. Pretty cool. Here is a list of a few.
