the "Morning Star."

Which is sort of delightful. I think the reason it's the brightest object in the sky at both the morning and the evening has to do with its orbit relative to the sun.

It's maximum perceived angular separation from the Sun is less than 50 degrees.
It can either be ahead or behind the Sun from our point of view, thus it is often seen before Sunrise, or after Sunset.

The one to the south is Jupiter. In a month or two they will be rather close to each other.

The past few mornings that I have been able to at least catch a minute or two of Venus and the moon do-se-do around each other. Tomorrow might be able to see the moon one more time before the new moon on Monday. Then it will be about Tuesday evening or Wed. when you can see the new crescent again after sunset.

Put in my zip code and bookmarked in my almanac folder. Right there with Sky Weather and Spot the Station (I like to wave at the astronauts as they go by, it makes the neighbors nervous)
