Brilliant Venus is sinking fast in the west-northwest right after sunset. The planet, which has dominated our western sky over the past few months, ends its reign in just a few weeks as it approaches the sun. Since Venus orbits closer to the sun than the Earth, occasionally it moves between the sun and the Earth. This happens on June 5.
Be sure to watch this beacon over the next few weeks as it drops closer to the set sun each evening. Venus' evening reign is ending.
Such is our view from Earth...
