I snapped this photo the evening of March 22, 2015. It is of the Moon and Venus. The Moon is the larger of the two celestial bodies in the center of the photo.
It is said that the third brightest object in the sky - other
than the sun and moon - is the planet Venus.
Arguably, I happen to think that the third consistently brightest object
in the sky is the International Space Station (ISS). But that's just an opinion and probably not worth arguing.
In any event, Venus is going to be at its brightest
for 2021 tonight and tomorrow. And there is a new moon today so the skies will be particularly dark.
Watch for Venus in the southwest sky during and following twilight. And Saturn and Jupiter too.
Best viewing will be with a telescope or binoculars. Fingers-crossed for cold, clear night skies.
