Tonight's sunset
"SUNSET PLANETS: Tonight when the sun is about to set, you've got to go outside and look. In the south, Venus is shining at its maximum brightness for all of 2005. (Through a telescope, Venus appears to be a tiny crescent--very pretty.) And in the east, Mars and the Moon are having a close encounter. Try to catch them before the sky fades to black."
