Best time to watch Venus: Planet reaches maximum shine in the sky

The planet Venus will be with its maximum shine This dawn, making this the best time to observe the planet in the night sky.

Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and our nearest neighbor. It is usually easily visible to the naked eye at night, being the third bright object in the sky, behind only the sun and moon – and will shine even more this Sunday.

Because it is similar in size and structure to Earth, the planet was nicknamed our “evil twin”. Its atmosphere imprisons heat, forming a much more powerful greenhouse process than ours, making Venus the hottest planet in the solar system.
