Best Answer

You are seeing Jupiter, which is now in Taurus, near the Pleiades and Aldebaran. Taurus is up all night in the winter, so you can see Jupiter in the east after sunset and all night long as Taurus moves across the winter night sky. Just before sunrise, if you have a flat horizon, you'll see Jupiter in the west as it is about to set with Taurus.

What planets the most brilliant planet in the sky?

Just now, Venus is the most brilliant planet, setting a couple of hours after the Sun (December 2013). In the new year it will swing round in front of the Sun, reaching inferior conjunction on January 11. In December the planet appears as a narrow crescent in a small telescope. In late January it will reappear as a brilliant morning star before sunrise, high up in the southern sky as seen from Europe or North America.

When will the five most visible planets be observable in the evening sky during the next 12 months in the year 2013?

This question was posted on July 18, 2013. The Earth and all the other planets each orbit the Sun in their own orbits, and our view from Earth will change day to day as the other planets race ahead or lag behind in their orbits. Venus, the brightest planet, is visible low on the western horizon at sunset as the "Evening Star". It will remain visible in the western sky at sunset until November, when it will get too close to the Sun to view. Saturn is high in the sky at sunset, and sets around midnight. Mars, Jupiter and Mercury all rise just before the Sun does, and may be visible low in the Eastern sky just before dawn. The Earth will be overtaking planets Mars and Jupiter, so they will be rising earlier and earlier each morning, and as the Earth passes them on the inside track of their orbits, they will be easily visible high in the evening sky by November.
