Do you like to look at the stars?
On a warm spring or summer night, it can be really amazing to find yourself a spot away from the city lights and take the time look up into the sky. The Astronomical Society of SA is all about keen astronomers publicly sharing their knowledge about the stars.
Dean Davidson vice President of the Astronomical Society of SA (ASSA) spoke to Tim Brunero about astronomy.

what is the very bright star(or planet) in the western sky at this time of the year
Hi, Tony
Thanks for your enquiry. Both Venus and Jupiter are visible in the evening sky. Venus is the brightest, and the one closest to the horizon. At this time, 20.47 23rd Feb. the planet Uranus is on the very edge of the Western Horizon.
