Hello, my dear
A friendly face.

Brilliant Venus lies low in the west-southwest shortly after sunset all week. Shining at magnitude -4.0, the planet appears conspicuous as darkness falls to anyone with a clear sky and an unobstructed horizon. It stands approximately 10° above the horizon 30 minutes after the Sun sets. This evening, it passes 2° north (to the upper right) of Spica in the constellation Virgo the Maiden. You may need binoculars to pick up the 1st-magnitude star, which glows 100 times fainter than the planet. If you turn a telescope on Venus, you’ll see a disk that spans 15" and appears slightly less than three-quarters lit.
New Moon occurs at 7:36 a.m. EDT. At its new phase, the Moon crosses the sky with the Sun and so remains hidden in our star’s glare.
