The Milky Way is faintly there I think. I couldn't see it naked eye due to the wing lights

I have two more videos that may help. This was taken around 7:45pm yesterday evening. I have second video I’ll be posting in the comments section. The position is West. I am in the Colbert, Ga area of the US. I started noticing this “star” 2 years ago. Anyone know what it is?

Vainu Bappu Telescope Observations

1 Upvotes

Dear Redditors,

I’m putting together a short PowerPoint presentation on India’s optical telescopes, and I’m looking for images of celestial objects observed by the Vainu Bappu Telescope (VBT) in visible light.

If possible, I’d be grateful if anyone could share around five images captured using the VBT, along with links to the original observations, publications, or official sources.

The images will be used solely for an educational presentation. I’ll provide proper credit to the observatory, researchers, and original sources, as applicable, and will respect any copyright or licensing requirements. I’ll seek permission wherever necessary before using any image that requires it.

Any help, suggestions, or links to publicly available image archives would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and support! 🙏

I read that we could fit all the planets in the solar system in the distance between the Earth and the Moon. What is the breakdown of what would happen if a Jupiter sized planet suddenly appeared in between us and the Moon? How fast would everything fall apart?
