Venus and Mercury are two planets that can be seen as morning and evening stars. Venus is the brightest planet and can be seen in the eastern sky before sunrise and in the western sky just after sunset. Mercury is a swift-moving inner planet that can move from morning to evening appearances and back again in as little as a few months. 

Venus and Jupiter can be seen to the west southwest right after sunset. Venus is the lower one of the two and Jupiter is just above it. 

Other bright stars in the evening include: 

• Castor and Pollux, which shine at 1st magnitude and are relatively easy to spot 
• Mars, which is magnitude 1.4 and is located to the lower left (south-southwest) of Pollux 
• Saturn, which is close to the upper left of the Moon 
• Fomalhaut, which is farther to the lower left of the Moon

Venus and Jupiter are the two brightest planets in the night sky. They are low in the west at nightfall and set an hour or so later. Venus is the brighter of the two and is called the “evening star”. Jupiter is a little above it, but they’ll stand side by side tomorrow night

Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the moon and sun.  It’s known as the “Morning Star” because it’s the first celestial body to appear in the evening sky and the last to disappear at sunrise.  Venus appears above the eastern horizon more than three and a half hours before sunrise. It shines brightly at the start of civil dawn, about 35 degrees high. 

Venus is about the same size as Earth, but its dense, reflective cloud cover and relative closeness to Earth make it the brightest object in the night sky. It doesn’t twinkle, but instead glows with a steady, silvery light.

The Evening Star is visible in the western sky after sunset. It’s also known as Hesperus, which is the Latin name Vesper. 

To see Venus at its brightest, look northwest after sunset. How high it is above the horizon, and how late at night it’s visible, depends on its exact location

Venus is visible as an evening star for about 263 days. It’s visible for at least a few hours from most locations. 

Venus’s entire cycle takes 584 days, which is also known as the synodic period of Venus. The cycle is: 

• 263 days as a morning star 
• 50 days absent 
• 263 days as an evening star 
• 8 days absent 

Venus is visible in the western sky after sunset for up to a few hours. It’s visible when it’s in a part of its orbit that’s just barely visible from Earth’s night side

Venus disappears from the evening sky when it’s too close to the Sun for us to see it. It passes between the Sun and Earth, moving into the morning sky. It’ll become visible as the “morning star” in a few days. 

Venus disappears for about 50 days. It’s visible as a morning star for around 263 days (about eight and a half months). It then disappears behind the Sun for about 50 days before reappearing as an evening star for another roughly 263-day period. 

In 2023, Venus disappeared from the evening sky more quickly than usual as seen from the UK and northern Europe in particular. It slimmed into a crescent shape as it dropped from view.

Venus was the Evening Star throughout 2023 until August 13, 2023. On August 13, Venus passed between Earth and the sun, which astronomers call inferior conjunction. After about August 21, it returned to the east before dawn
