the planet venus

Not a star but the planet Venus. They are both in or near Gemini. Wait till the sun sets and 'left' of the moon you will see an object that is fairly bright (not near as bright as Venus) and if your skies are very clear, it will not blink! This is Saturn. Get a powerful set of binoculars trained on it and you might see the faintest indication of SATURN's rings. A small telescope will show it somewhat more. Look at Venus through your binoculars and you should make out a gibbous (phase-like) Venus. Very cool!

That's Venus, in the southwestern sky these evenings. We've had discussions about whether it was a hovering UFO or any number of other things. (Venus is a planet. If you look at it with binoculars or a small telescope just after it appears after sunset you'll see it looks like a tiny crescent moon right now.)

Venus!?!
I thought it was an omen that the end was near.
Phwew! Good news, good news.

A satellite. Most of the bright stars you see in the sky are satellites.
