Five months from now, Venus will be almost at her brightest, and well placed for viewing in the daytime, with the Moon as a guide around 1-2 Feb, depending on location. 🔭

“Far from the NorthWest corner of a Brand new Crescent Moon, the spiral light of Venus rising first and shining best”. Sorry, couldn’t resist *turns out it’ll be a waxing crescent that evening. Thanks for these beautiful posts!!

One of my fond childhood memories was staying overnight at my grandparents' house so I could get up pre-dawn to see Venus from their rural field. It felt magical. I don't remembered the time of year, but I'd read about it in an old astronomy text.
