After all the recent cloudy weather, it was nice to see Venus blazing low in the west yesterday below the crescent Moon.
Venus is now up for about an hour after sunset and getting higher, and setting later each night. Have you spotted her yet?
Also keep an eye on the Moon as it passes near the Pleiades and Hyades in Taurus Sat and Sunday night.
Here in Israel the Moon will be about 1/2 a distance lower each night.

I've spotted Venus easily enough. Always a pleasure to meat an old friend. I also sent a message yesterday to the AstroTom group. did you get it (I didn't!) If not I will send again.
ReplyDeleteI was able to spot venus as I was leaving work last night. And when I got home I was able to spend a few good minutes with M42 and the moon in my binoculars.
