Venus

Venus is spectacular in the evening sky (southwest) now, about as bright as you'll ever see it. It dances with the crescent moon at the end of the month, which should be beautiful to see.


29 Venus, the brilliant "evening star," stands to the upper left of the crescent Moon at nightfall. They will move closer together as they drop toward the western horizon.

30 Venus is below the Moon this evening.
