The image shows bright Venus quite high and prominent the evening twilight sky (at almost 30° altitude) over Saquarema, a small coastal town 80 kilometers [50 miles] east of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Local time was 7:19 p.m. and sunset had occurred only 20 minutes earlier.

Five shots were piled into one to reduce noise with Registax.

Venus has been in our evening sky since August, but it has been low in the sky ad not very noticeable. Beginning around now, though, Venus is becoming much easier to see. Watch for it as soon as the sky darkens, in the west, near the place where the sun went down. You can’t miss it!

And, by the way, if you’re up before dawn, you’ll find another very bright planet in the east before sunrise. It’s Jupiter.
