Venus

So that had to be Venus in the western sky about 8:30 p.m. CT tonight.
Yup.



So bright, hard to ignore.
The stars were really bright (no moon).
I wish I had an observation deck with telescope and camera ready for moments like this.
It's about 6 degrees above zero outside.

"A goddess on a mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
A summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name..."
