Observing Venus

  • Venus is the second planet from the Sun, so it is always fairly close to the Sun in the sky.
    o
  • It appears as a brilliant morning or evening “star” – the brightest object in the night sky apart from the Moon.
    o
  • In a telescope, it can be seen to go through phases, just like the Moon.
