Venus is by far the brightest ”star” in the sky these days (nights). Its magnitude is a whopping -4.5, compare that to the -1.5 of Sirius which is the brightest star in the northern hemisphere. In February they can both be seen in the evening sky for comparison, but for now I was just stunned to see Venus right after sunset. The picture is taken about 1.5 hours after sunset though.

The sunset wasn’t otherwise special, but a few mother-of-pearl clouds were a nice surprise.
