Venus returning to sky before sunrise

In mid-August 2015, Venus – the second planet outward from the sun and brightest planet visible in Earth’s sky – swung in between Earth and the sun. At that time, Venus transitioned out of Earth’s evening sky and into our morning sky. Unless you have special equipment, you probably haven’t seen Venus for a few weeks.

After having been lost in the sun’s glare for several weeks, Venus returns to visibility in the morning sky this week (beginning around August 26, 2015). On that approximate date – or on a morning around that date – you might see Venus climbing up above the eastern horizon an hour or so beforesunriseif you have an unobstructed eastern horizon and clear sky.

If you miss Venus this week, look for it to appear in the morning sky someday soon.


Just don’t mistake Sirius – the brightest star of the nighttime sky – for the planet Venus. Sirius sparkles in the southeast, while Venus shines with a steadier light almost due east. Although Venus is actually brighter than Sirius, Venus might be the harder of the two to spot in the morning sky right now, because Venus sits closer to the glare of sunrise.
