We’ve had a lot of calls lately asking about bright star to the south. That’s Venus, shining in all her extraordinarily bright glory!
There’s a big of extra special sauce going on these evenings, though! If you look up and left from Venus, you’ll see a dim star, and another very bright star. Those are Saturn and Jupiter (respectively)!
Enjoy the view, it won’t be long until Venus is below the horizon after sunset.
But don’t fret! As Venus begins setting earlier, the Orion constellation will be coming up earlier. Look east-southeast around 8pm for Orion to make its appearance!
