Moon and Venus - February 27, 2009, 1:30pm PST

For once, Venus in the daytime is actually brighter than the moon! Go and check it out for yourself!

Right this minute they're both pretty much right overhead. They'll be a couple of hours behind the sun today, whenever you look. If you look. (Behind the sun in this case means lagging a couple of hours behind it, meaning to the east of it.)
