I’ve noticed all the planets lately. The mountain to my east blocks about 30 degrees of the horizon so I never see Mercury in the morning. As for the West it’s pretty much unobstructed. Last year on a cold clear dark twilight I saw Mercury for the first time and it was spectacular. It wash shining like a coral colored diamond. But not for long. It was short and sweet.

Last night, Monday the 16th, about an hour after sunset, I saw an incredibly bright white star just a few degrees above the horizon in the west. I assumed it was Venus but it seemed brighter and bigger than usual.

I pulled up the skymap app on my phone and held it up and the only celestial body at that location was...Regulus.

All the major planets were well below the horizon in the east. Did my app need to be recalibrated?
