The sky on June

The light in the sky

Last week I spotted a brilliant object in the sky. At first I thought it was Venus but Venus rises at dawn, not at 7 something pm. Jupiter rises after midnight these days, so it wasn't Jupiter either. The brighter stars in the vecinity were Sirius and Canopus, higher in the sky at that moment--so what the hell was that? I still don't know. I went for my binoculars and I noticed the thing was double and it was just fixed in the sky. Later it started to rain and I didn't see it again--actually I haven't seen it again.
