what is the new star like object visable in the morning sky the last few days? it's quite bright,visable after sun rise and moving about 1 degree faster than the rotation of the earth.

Where is the star located in proximity to the sunrise? North, south, east or west of the sun?

I've seen a star recently which is blinking blue red and white. I kno its a star because it stays in one certain location. Not to mention that it comes to the same spot day after day for a couple of days. I think it may be something like the galaxy in the constellation orion. It stays in the eastern sky. Could you help??

Sounds like Venus again since its v.low on the horizon an would therefor flicker , planets don't move very fast and it usually takes a couple of weeks to detect motion. Galaxy's are diffuse exceedingly faint and hard to detect only 3 maybe four are visible to the naked eye from dark Sky's (M31 Andromeda, M33 , SMC, LMC (only visible to us in Aus  )
Besides Orion, being close to the milky way, doesn't have any Galaxy's. They tend to hang out in areas away from obscuring dust (dark nebula). eg Virgo.
