If you’re interested in easy daytime planet hunting, Venus is visible now, just northeast of the moon. It’ll be brighter later today as the sky darkens, but what’s the fun in that!? 😉

It's always super easy when it's near the moon.  I was able to watch a big fat contrail (~2 deg wide) pass in front of it.  It still poked through just fine, except in the densest of fluff patches.
