What was in the sky tonight?
It looked like a really really bright star, why was it so bright tonight?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Tonight (Feb. 3), the waxing gibbous moon jumped over the the Pleiades star cluster, which are the dipper-shape pattern of stars marking the shoulder on the constellation Taurus the Bull.

"For the first three months of 2009 Venus will be visible in the evening sky, gradually becoming fainter and closer to the Sun during March. Its phase will decrease from a half-Moon in January to a thin crescent in March, as it approaches inferior conjunction on March 28."

When Venus and Jupiter and Mars and Mercury wander near each other they put off quite a show. Venus is always the brightest, of course, Jupiter second.
