Morning Star Gazing

Planet Venus has arrived on the scene just in time for Valentines Day.  And it may be useful to you to know that our planetary neighbor appears brightest during its crescent phase.  Which happens to be now.  

You'll have to be an early riser yet Venus will be visible all month long in the eastern sky just before sunrise.  Look in the direction of the sunrise for Venus to twinkle low on the horizon.  A pair of binoculars would be useful and the view should look like this...

Take advantage of the opportunity now as Venus will not appear this luminous until July of 2023.
