Default Re: bright object in sky

[ QUOTE ]
If its brighter than a star, and it is if you are seeing it at sunset, it's a planet. I think Venus is visible now, I remember reading that, so I am laying odds that you are seeing Venus.

yeah, im pretty sure its venus. i looked at it with my piece of crap 3x (or something pathetic like that) telescope, and it was definitely a planet.
im pretty sure mars is visible too (perhaps it always is, who knows)
