Venus and Moon Bright in the Evening Sky

Graphic from EarthSky.org
Outside RIGHT NOW - golden sliver of moon is suspended over the southwest horizon, with Venus higher than the moon and bright in the sky, same general direction. (You can't miss Venus, it's the brightest point of light out there.) And with a good pair of binoculars, you will even be able to watch the changing phases of Venus over the next few days. Although Venus’ phase is waning in the evening sky right now, the forecast calls for Venus to be at its greatest brilliance in the evening sky in a few more days.
