In this episode, Astronomy magazine Editor Dave Eicher invites you to head out before sunrise and face east. There, you’ll spot Venus, sometimes called Earth’s sister planet. You won’t have any trouble finding it because only the Sun and the Moon shine more brightly. In fact, if your location is dark enough, the light from Venus might even cast shadows. Good luck!
