Not sure what this would be. Ive seen it for years and thought it was just a weirdly rectangular cluster of stars. What do you guys think?
They're the Plieades. For future reference you can check on what's in the sky with software like Stellarium.

NROL-22 TLE DATA SMOKING GUN. (USA 184—-~~>”USA 184 r”). YAHTZEE ! ✈️🌏🛰🎯👀😱

‘Limited' UFO disclosure believed to be used soon as a strategy of deception as end times Bible prophecy being fulfilled indicates. The truth about the future and how to be prepared.
We have been experiencing distress and perplexity of nations upon the earth unlike anything in modern history. There have been record hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, and flooding globally which appears to relate to “the sea and the waves roaring” and according to research using the Stellarium Astronomy Software, this was a one time alignment on September 23, 2017 involving the sun, moon, and stars that accurately matches the reading of Revelation 12:1-2 word-for-word, the last book of the Bible foretelling the end of the age.

When it comes to software what do you use and can you go a little bit into detail on how to use it
Stellarium - Planning out targets and just seeing what's up in the sky on any given night

Floating Feature: A Sky Built Before Us - The History Of The Stars
I did a bit of poking around using Stellarium and found two stars that I thought were admirable candidates, and I wasn't sure why Nell and Ruggles didn't think so: Phecta and Megrez, Gamma and Delta Ursae Majoris. These are the two stars that make the left side of the 'scoop' of the big dipper. According to Stellarium they were at their closest to being in a north-south alignment in the year -2586, that is 2587 BCE, with right ascensions differing by just 1.28 s (0.00036°). They were 15° and 20° from the pole at the time.

I'd like to share my personal web project. Those who are into astronomy might wanna see this.
But if you need an API i think stellarium.org has an one.

Portable, cross-platform, reliable 3D library?
If I wanted to build an app like Stellarium, displaying a 3D model, but not requiring fast animation, not a game, more visualization, what libraries should I be considering for the display/UI portion of this program?

My Friend send me this from Alpes d'Huez France
Nice photo! Don’t pay attention to some of the overzealous skeptics. If your friend can provide time/place, you can double check https://www.adsbexchange.com/ to see if there were any planes.

Getting into it!!
If so, might I recommend ADSB Exchange?

Point me in the right direction….websites that track aircraft.
Here are 2 tracking sites www.flightradar24.com www.adsbexchange.com

What type of helicopter is this, it's a bit too blurry for me so I couldn't find the correct answer myself. (spotted in Fairfax, Virginia)
About anything you can see in the sky from Fairfax would be in ADS-B Out required airspace. You can look at a live map at https://www.adsbexchange.com/ or https://flightaware.com/

Police Plane on Radar
FlightRadar24 and FlightAware have been known to censor police and military aircraft. You might want to try ADS-B Exchange. I haven’t verified if the local police aircraft show up there or not.
