Venus so clear in the sky tonight.

It certainly is, I've just been looking through the Skyscanner app which is very helpful when you're a bit of a thicko like me where the planets are concerned.

Mars is also visible a bit higher up (and a lot dimmer than Venus). Neptune is also there, but you won't see it with the naked eye

You're not alone Dan. Being 14 miles from Heathrow I initially thought it was a plane. I had to download a star app to educate myself.

There's been a bright one due southish for a week or two, which one is that? It's just below, and right of the moon right now.

Yep. Bottom right saddo. Thanks for the heads up Mars Degs.

I'm on the Leeds flight path, and also have often mistaken it for a plane lately.

Venus and Mars are alright tonight

Thank you, GoOnThen. I'd never have known! I'm a complete numpty when it comes to stars and planets

Can't stop looking at it .

Mars, too, thanks Degs.

Maybe tonight is the night when i meet My Venus.

Just found this

looks like the Turkish flag - i was staring at it so much a girl turned round to look at it. Just then her designer paper bag from one of the clothes shops burst and all her shopping went over the middle of the road. It was as if i had super powers for a moment. bloody funny.

zorro,i hope you helped her collect her shopping,mate.It gives me a nice warm feeling to help people.I pride myself on being A Gentleman.

Any nice skimpies?

For Uranus?

No, for hers.

Venus has been shining brightly, early evening, for weeks now.

Same place - starting at around 50 degrees above the horizon in the South

No different tonight than it has been, in my view.
