2023 looks to be an exceptional year for viewing the scorched second planet from the sun, Venus.
The planet Venus is the undisputed star of the night skies this year., now in our southwest sky for about two hours after sunset, is almost like a stellar sequined showgirl, currently starring nightly in her brilliant performance. Viewed during evening twilight, this planet appears dazzlingly bright to the naked eye and even more so in binoculars.
To those who monitor it from week to week in telescopes, it is ever changing and ever fascinating. More on that a little later. A rather tight conjunction between Venus and the ringed planet Saturn will take place on Sunday .will hold another celestial rendezvous, appearing only about one-half degree apart. They will appear side-by-side, Venus gleaming to the right of Jupiter. At magnitude -4.0, Venus will be about six times as bright as its yellow neighbor.
Less than a week earlier, a 2.5-day-old crescent moon will form a narrow and striking isosceles triangle, with Jupiter and the moon separated by only 1.5 degrees, while Venus sits 7 degrees below both. Here is a challenge for amateur photographers: Try to capture the two planets, the narrow sliver of the crescent moon , with perhaps some Earthshine on its unilluminated portion, and any residual twilight glow silhouetting the western horizon.
