Over the next couple weeks, look towards the low southeastern sky at dawn and witness the morning star, otherwise known as Venus. On Saturday, February 15, Venus will shine at an impressive magnitude of -4.9, which is the brightest it can get in our skies. Venus shines 10 times brighter than Jupiter, which is also visible in our evening skies during February
Wake up early on the 15th or anytime during the following week-you don’t want to miss this because Venus won’t appear this bright and high in Earth’s skies again until 2015.
