🔭 Useful this morning: Venus reaches peak brilliance for its current evening appearance tomorrow, September 18. NASA says to look low in the west shortly after sunset; a clear horizon helps because the planet sets fairly soon. It will be the brightest point in that part of the sky, outshining every star around it.
