The brightest object in the southwest late evening sky in the southeastern US is likely the planet Venus. Venus is often referred to as the "evening star" because it is visible in the western sky shortly after sunset and appears as a bright, white object.
Venus rotates on its axis slower than any other planet.
Venus is the brightest object in the night sky other than the moon and the brightest object that appears as a starlike point. As a result it is often the first starlike object seen in the evening or the last one seen in the morning depending on where it is relative to Earth at the time.
The planet that often appears close to the crescent moon is Venus, known as the "evening star." However, depending on the time of year and your location, other planets or stars may also be visible near the moon.
