What is that bright star in the East?
If you’ve noticed a bright star in the eastern sky near dawn, you’re not alone. That bright star is actually Venus, and it’s getting brighter each day. It’s actually visible for about 30 minutes after the sun rises, because it’s so bright, KTLA sister station WFLA reports.

What planet is visible in the east?
Mars, the red planet, is now a dazzling sight in the night sky. Go look at Mars tonight. A few hours after the Sun sets in the west, look to the east and you’ll see a big, bright “star” that’s unmistakably red.
What planet is rising in the East?
Venus is certainly easy enough to spot in the dawn twilight. It is, as always, the brightest planet, and rises in the east-southeast about two hours before sunup.
What is the bright star in the West?
Venus is so bright because its thick clouds reflect most of the sunlight that reaches it (about 70%) back into space, and because it is the closest planet to Earth. Venus can often be seen within a few hours after sunset or before sunrise as the brightest object in the sky (other than the moon).
Does Venus rise in the east?
Venus orbits closer to the Sun than Earth, so explaining how to find Venus in the sky is pretty easy. It will be fairly close to the Sun. Venus orbits the Sun faster than the Earth so it will either appear in the sky in the West in the evening or rise before the Sun in the East.
What is the evening star in the East?
It’s quite easy! When Venus is the “Evening Star,” just look to where the Sun sets (the West), and when it is the “Morning Star,” just look to where the Sun rises (the East). Thanks to its brightness, you cannot miss it!
