Venus is also called the "evening star". It’s the bright white "star" seen above the western horizon when the Sun sets. Sometimes it’s even visible during the day. Venus has phases, just like the Moon. You can prove it’s Venus with just a pair of steadily held binoculars—the crescent can be seen even at this magnification.
