Venus

I was out tonight to pick up my daughter from school -- and even though there was a full moon playing hide and go seek with a cloudy sky, there was one spectacularly bright star in the sky. It was Venus. Not a star. It was incredible seeing it. I thought for sure it was a plane, as we're not far from Pearson. It wasn't moving though -- it was Venus. It's incredible to think we could see it so bright, despite being in the city. This week Venus will appear extremely bright in the sky -- with only the Sun and the Moon shining brighter than it. If you have a pair of binoculars or a small telescope, you will be able to see Venus as a crescent.
