These nights Venus has been a gorgeous sight in the sky after sunset. We’ve been out walking every night after dinner and tonight we tried to see if we could spot it before the Sun went down. We found it about 45 or so degrees above the horizon right at sunset (we’ve got a little pair of hills to the west of us — your mileage may vary). It looks like a bright, unblinking star up there and as the darkness deepens it really starts to glitter. So, if you haven’t had a chance to go out and find Venus, now’s the time!
