Are there any planets visible this time of day, today?
 
on Phys.org
Venus and Saturn are sitting right next to each other 20-30 degrees up in the west - you can't miss them unless you think you are about to get run over by an airplane. Jupiter is low on the southeastern horizon.
 
Russ wanted to say, 20 -30 deg up AT SUNSET, but didn't so I added it. :biggrin:
 
Ehh, I figured we were well enough constrained by the time-stamp on his post (and my suspicion that he does not live in New Zealand), but yeah, that's what I meant...
