The objet moving one direction to other in the sky looks very similar to star what is it?
i have seen daily the object seem very much similar to star moving quickly from one direction to other i want to know what is it?
Most likely a satellite. As long as it didn’t make any turns, if it looked like a moving star, that’s what you saw. There are thousands of man made satellites orbiting the earth, and when they catch the sunlight just right, and it’s dark enough, they can be highly reflective to an observer on earth.
You should go to heavens-above.com to check out listings of some of these… The International Space Station and Iridium Flares are spectacular to see, and sighting opportunities are listed there, if you enter your longitude and latitude information.
