2023 January 02 - After Sunset Planet Parade
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 2023-01-02

In today's image, we see the planets in the night sky just after sunset. Venus has recently made its transition from Morning Star to Evening Star and will become more prominent in the evening sky over the spring. Saturn will be slowly sinking toward the Sun and will be less visible. But, a chance now to see a good number of the planets in the evening sky just after sunset!
