Does anyone know which planet is super bright right now? It seems HUGE and seems so close-- and so bright.

Venus has been very bright in the southwestern sky since August. It's much brighter than the UFO's I've seen recently.

Jupiter is usually the bright one. If you look through a telescope, you can see its bands and some of its moons too. The UFOs move around alot, so you can usually tell them from the stationary planets & stars

Oops. I guess Venus is the brightest one.
