If you look into the night sky this month, you will see our planetary neighbour- Venus.
Scott Young, manager of the Manitoba Museum’s Planetarium and Science Gallery says the planet will appear as the brightest star in the sky.
“If you outside just after dark, and you see a really, really bright star in the southwest, that’s actually Venus,” said Young. “It’s reaching its highest and brightest point over the next little while throughout February.”
Young adds that Venus is so bright that it may become visible just after the sun goes down.
Another thing that sky watchers can look forward to this month is Mercury also being visible.
Young says that it may be harder to see Mercury, as it will closer to the horizon.
