The Perfect Valentines Gift

The Washington Post have reported that "Just in time to feel the love of Valentine's Day, the ever-effervescent Venus (negative third magnitude, very bright) can be spied skimming the western horizon after sunset. On subsequent evenings and ever so slowly, this lovely planet appears longer in the western sky as it puts more distance between it and the sun. Because it is so close to the horizon, expect that it will be hard to find in February. Realistically, you'll get a better view of Venus in March".

So consider a little stargazing with your sweetheart this Valentines Day and let Venus cast her eye on you.
