So, Venus is practicaly visible entire year!? Ok, how is that possible? You can not observe it during the night, since we are facing outer space on the night side and Venus is simply not there. Same goes for Mercury…. Straka, How does earth being flat change any of that? Same in the mornings depending on the time of year.
Wow, the earth is a sphere. Just like the rest of the planets and moons and every other large celestial body. Muchas gracias. Hi Michael, Our apologies in advance that this is a long reply but hopefully, it answers your question. When they arrive at superior conjunction, that is the day they transition from a morning star to an evening star. It then transitions back to being a morning star. Thank u for the artical here is juat 1 lonely pic i have taken out of thousands..
Hi Kari, the same thing happened to me. Venus — continues its slow slide down from its late summer peak of prominence this month. On the 1st, it rises nearly 3 hours before sunrise, but by month's end this has been reduced to about 2 hours 15 minutes.
It also does not seem to glow with quite the dazzling radiance that it once had as it recedes from the Earth. By midmonth it shines at magnitude On the morning of Nov. On the 15th, it will pass 4 degrees to the upper left of Spica. Mars — now coming off of its highly favorable opposition last month, is rapidly receding from the Earth and consequently growing dimmer and shrinking in telescopes. At the start of November, the red planet is On this evening before Thanksgiving, the waxing gibbous moon will be accompanied through the night by pumpkin-colored Mars, which will shine conspicuously about 5 degrees above it.
At magnitude Still, compared to the way it appeared six weeks ago, it's now only one-third as bright. Jupiter and Saturn — Will be visited by a fat waxing crescent moon on the evening of Nov. Taken together they form a scalene triangle a triangle in which all three sides have different lengths which will remain in view, low in the southwest until roughly p.
The Moon-Saturn side measures 5 degrees long, the Moon-Jupiter side 8 degrees, while Jupiter and Saturn are now just 3. From the lab to your inbox.

The space agency suggested this could be the best time this year for viewing Saturn and Jupiter. The annual opposition typically means a planet is brighter than usual, but the Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics notes "the difference will hardly be noticeable, given how far out Jupiter, and especially Saturn, orbit. A stargazing app can help you dial in the locations of Saturn and Jupiter.
When it comes to Jupiter, a good pair of binoculars can let you spot its four biggest moons looking like nearby specks of light. A small telescope can help bring Saturn's storied rings into focus.
