Planets

There are some big ass clouds in the west right now, but I can nonetheless very clearly make out one planet. I guess it is Venus? Are the other two still close by?

Have to go back and look some more . . .

I think I spotted Mercury as well, slightly to the right but very much above Venus, and also much much dimmer.

If its the brightest thing in the sky first thing in the evening, it probably Venus. The other one visible with the naked eye is more likely Jupiter.

If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.
