IF you love Venus, maybe today is your day. She will shine brightest at 2.54 pm.
No we are not talking about Venus Williams, the tennis star. Venus, the tennis star, lost her match to Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro.
What we mean is the planet. Today, we have the opportunity to catch Venus in broad daylight.
First sighting at 10 am Today, the moon and Venus will rise almost together. At about 10 am, if the sky is clear, it should not be difficult for you to see the brightening lunar crescent well above the eastern horizon.

Venus will be about two and quarter degrees south of the Moon, visible with a small pair of binoculars.
The best opportunity, however, comes when the moon and Venus cross the meridian, an imaginary arc that passes through the north pole. Close to the time it crosses the meridian (transit time), face due south and look straight up.
Even if you miss the planet at its brightest, never mind. Wait till it gets dark. And watch the moon and Venus next to each other above the western horizon.
