Venus rewards stargazers with appearance next to moon

Second rock from sun visible with naked eye in clear skies in areas with low light pollution

Stargazers have been treated to seeing the planet Venus as it made an appearance next to the moon.

The second rock from the sun could be seen on Friday night with the naked eye in areas with clear skies and low light pollution. Some were able to take incredible photographs of the morning star, so named because it is often mistaken for a bright star.
