Bright Venus

I was up early this morning to take in a 6:30 yoga class before going to work.  The sky was pretty clear, and the stars in their early fall positions - Orion prominent, the Pleiades a bit higher in the sky.  Venus was exceptionally bright, due to it's position in orbit.  This is, it turns out, it's brightest week.

It's this time of year, four years ago, that I started going to the early morning class on Wednesday and began to notice Orion and the other fall stars in the sky.  I hope we get some good sky viewing weather this year.  Some star gazing will be good for me.
