Venus ascending
Published Date Thursday, 10 October 2013 00:48 Written by Edward Gleason
"It's Venus."
We've been repeating that sentence quite often lately, for many people have noticed that stunningly bright light adorning the western evening sky. We expect to say these words quite often, as Venus will grow even brighter throughout the next two months. Remarkably, Venus will be even two and a half times brighter on the first of December than it is now. At this time, Venus will be so intensely bright it will even cast faint shadows at night, provided the Moon has not yet risen.
Venus outshines all the other planets and night sky stars. In fact, our sister world is the third brightest sky object, after the Sun and Moon. Many sky watchers often mistake it for a plane or spacecraft, as it is difficult to believe that a non-terrestrial object could exude such a light. One often wonders how Venus can always make such a spectacle of itself. Well, we understand that a planet's brightness varies due to four factors, two of which, its size and albedo, are intrinsic and invariable; while two other factors, its distance from the Sun and from Earth, constantly change. Examining these factors in greater detail will help us understand why Venus will always remain the sky's brightest planet.
When we observe a planet, we're seeing Sunlight reflecting off its surface or, in the case of a gas giant planet, its upper 'cloud' layer.
The closer a planet is to the Sun, the brighter it will tend to be as the solar radiation becomes more intense with decreasing distance. The Sunlight Venus receives is more concentrated than the the light Earth absorbs. Therefore, the reflected light will be commensurately more intense, as well. [ link to www.portlanddailysun.me] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48085629 I have seen them both together, looked like 2 Venus's pretty much but far apart.. same part of the sky though. Venus is not as close to the sun as this object... false. Venus is VERY bright in the western-soutwestern sky after sunset. There is NO other bright object in the sky except for Venus anywhere near there. and its going to get even brighter. This object in NOT Venus. If you go out to look at it, it will be the 2nd star to shine tonight. The 1st one is Venus. This will be to the right of Venus (North) and to the left (South) of Arcturus The first stars I see appear are Vega (very high in the sky), Arcturus, Altair (very high in the sky), and Antares. Antares is currently located to the lower right of Venus (which is in the SW sky). Arcturus is a little north (right) of due West. My video shows Antares, Arcturus, and Venus in relation to each other. recorded on 10/24/2013:
