Super-bright Venus is a splendid object above the western horizon at sunset: as the sky grows darker, a bright star becomes visible to the south. This is Regulus, the leading star of the constellation Leo. At magnitude +1.4, this blue-white binary is the 21st brightest star in the sky. Over the next few nights Venus will move even closer, until the two objects are just two minutes of right acension apart: very close indeed!
