Phases suggest Venus.

Somehow, the phase seems less evident in the full picture, but I think it's Venus, as well.

I believe that big one there is in fact a 'part of mars'.

The very bright one is a street lamp!

But there’s another one.

Oh, I thought it was a telescope photo of Venus.

Well in any case Venus is the current evening star, high up in the evening. Setting into the west.

Jupiter is just starting to rise at dawn and will slowly become more prominent.

Mercury should become visible fairly soon, though always hard to spot in the twilight.

Oops. Thought the big one was the moon, and I was referring to this famous scientist:

That was Venus alright in that picture. Never gets boring, does she, the old hootchie.

Nope, never. I have always found it a reassuring presence in the sky, somehow.
