For the last several nights, I was able to witness the planet Venus. It was so close.

I didn’t know what it was; it was the brightest star I had ever seen. I hurridly called my nephew (who is a space info source), and he told me it was Venus.

WOW! It was so bright. I’m going to look for it again, after the storm passes.

Easy to mistake it, but it’s Jupiter.
