That Bright Evening Star

Dear Space Fans,

That unmissable "star" over to the south-west, visible from about 5.30pm as the sky darkens, is the planet Venus. It has been around for many months now, but this cannot continue for much longer as the various movements of the Solar System do their thing. So, we have just under a month of more great viewing to go now before the planet moves into the glare of the Sun.

Starry Skies,

Anton
