What is that twinkly thing in the sky?

shaped like a toe nail

That made me laugh - a very romantic description of a new moon

It is Venus

New moon just below the planet last night----shaped like a toe-nail. Beautiful.

I've never seen a night sky as magnificent as in Australia though with its myriads of stars and the Southern Cross a formation only seen in the Southern hemisphere.
Masses of meteorites too ( shooting stars )

Could it be a tea tray in the sky?

Sorry, I was thinking of my uncle's unofficial version of "twinkle, twinkle, little star" Do you know it?

Twinkle, twinkle little bat,
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world so high,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat,
How I wonder what you're at!

Are you looking out of an open or closed window? I sometimes see colours round lights when I look out of my double-glazed windows

Thanks everyone who posted the link to earth sky.org/tonight.
Just signed up to this...something to look forward to.
Birdsong during the day...the stars at night. Fabulous.

Venus

I've been reading a thread on facebook and it seems this could be the Starlink satellite network: Designed to provide global Internet service, the Starlink network is one of several “mega-constellations” of broadband satellites. SpaceX is in competition with OneWeb, Amazon and Telesat, which are also developing fleets of hundreds to thousands of small Internet relay satellites in low Earth orbit.
Also known as the Starlink 4 Train.

how to see the Starlink network

Great link Chewbacca, thank you. ?
I have forwarded it to several people ...

Great thread Eglantine, we were looking at (what we now know is) Venus, last night and marvelling at the wonders of the universe... ?⭐️

If you enter your location here, you'll be able to find out when you can see it from your area, and for how long.

Phew! Thought it was just me and I was seeing things. At first sight I thought aircraft but it wasnt as it didnt move.

They are watching to make sure we are all staying inside so that the earth can heal....

Thank you Lisagran. I have been noticing the bright 'star' for the past month and kept meaning to google to confirm that it is Venus. I also see a rainbow colours aura around it but thought it was an effect caused by the double glazing

you are lucky, I can`t pick out stuff in the sky.. I just see a myriad of stars.. beautiful, but just lots of twinkles

Think it's a space station

Venus

No - a pic I got off the Internet.

Oh I thought maybe one of your grandchildren had sent you the space station timetable.

?????

Who’s. I am literate if not scenotifications?

Ha ha, look what spell check did!

Whose the astronomer in the family??

ISS times

Its venus, its so lovely!!

Could it have been the International Space Station??

Last night was the birth of the new moon, Nissan/Aries.
According to our lunar calendar.
Could have something to do with it. But also lack of pollution as others have said.
