Did you know that if you knew where to look you could see venus during the day time. I found it easily on December 4th at about 2 pm due to its close proximity to the moon. I was also able to locate it at 3:30 pm on Dec 6th, 7th, and 8th. I guess Venus is so bright now you can see it all the time (If you know where to look) :D

Shouldn't it now be "dropping back down into the sunset"?

It is approaching that point but was visible yesterday. It was about 2 fists (20deg?) away from the sun. It will soon disappear until it becomes the morning star again.

I am going to look again today at 3:30 and see if I can find it.
