Re: bright star

Yep - Venus

It's currently due West, and very low - at around 8:30 - 9:00pm
Sets about 9:15, just a tad north of due West (if you can see clear to the horizon)

Right now - just after 3pm - it's pretty much due South - about 35°-40° up (depending on your location) - can even be seen in broad daylight if you have reasonable eyesight.

**note**
The above times will vary a little - depending where you are located
