how do you know thats venus?
Venus, the brilliant "Evening Star", shines low in the south-western sky immediately after sunset. At the start of November it sets an hour and a half after the Sun; but this interval stretches to nearly three hours by the end of the month. Despite being low in the twilight sky, Venus can still catch the eye - it looks almost too bright to be a natural object.
During the month, Venus' size grows substantially from 24.2" to 35.4" while its phase decreases from 51% to 33% lit. On November 6th, Venus is farthest south (-27°) in its 8-year cycle of appearances. Things will improve somewhat in the next few months -- Venus will get a little higher even though
Venus is well placed to be viewed this month in the southwestern sky shortly after sunset. It is the brightest thing in Earth's sky other than the Sun and Moon. Unless you wait too late, you can't miss it.

I don't know about you, but have you seen that really bright star in our southern skies, I believe that it's the long awaited planet-X/Nibiru... Stichen said the planet has gold dust surrounding it. Maybe that's why it appears to be so bright now. Any comments?

The brilliant planet Venus is our so-called evening star this autumn; it appears as an intensely bright white star that does not twinkle (much brighter than even Mars). Venus is the first star like object visible, in a clear sky, starting about 20-30 minutes after sunset above the southwestern horizon.

If venus is so bright,then why haven't we seen it years and years before now...why in 2005 has it become so noticable...or maybe its really the planet nibiru and nasa is using venus as a cover up.
