If you have dark/clear skies near you, if you look up now and to the wsw, do you know that you can see brilliant Venus and a sliver moon smiling below it?

Yes, I did know that.

I saw this briefly before the clouds covered it. Beautiful.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will get out the telescope and get the kids out to see it.

I wish that I could see it. It’s been raining all day and should continue through the night. :(

@All; Binoculars or the naked eye will do just fine if you don’t have city or street lights.

And they will be around for the next few days, although the moon will start to fill out and change position relative to Venus. It is a nice viewing for kids 7 and up.

@gailcalled and kids 50 and up

(and nice dogs)

Yes, I’ve been enjoying seeing Venus for about a month.
