Moon and Venus tonight!

It was pretty good last night but tonight will be even better.

Shortly after sunset tonight (April 24, 2012), look in the western sky for the moon and the planet Venus – the second- and third-brightest celestial objects, respectively, after the sun. Venus is nearly at its brightest for this evening apparition now. Many are commenting that they can’t believe how bright Venus is! And indeed the moon and Venus will dazzle you tonight, if your sky is clear after sunset. Just look west and see.
