For most of 2023, we saw Venus - the brightest planet - in the west after sunset. Many called it the 'evening star.' And, of course, Venus isn't a star. It's the next planet inward from Earth. Venus goes between us and the sun about every 19 months. It did that last on August 13, 2023. Now, Venus is about to come back to our sky ... this time in the east before dawn. People will call it the 'morning star.'
