Eye on the Night Sky
Sunday, March 29, 2026
Today:
The brightest object in the night sky is the Moon. It’s so bright that it’s fully visible in broad daylight, when it rises in the east-northeast at 3:45 PM. On the opposite side of the sky, in the west, will emerge the second-brightest object in the night sky, Venus, which can be seen as it sinks toward the horizon by around 7:45 PM, before setting in the west-northwest at around 8:50 PM.
