    Yes, it ranges from an apparent magnitude of -3.8 to -4.9, depending on the phase.

    Does Venus vary in brightness in the course of a year?   It seems to me that it has been unusally bright the last few weeks here in Portsmouth.

    shouldn't you see the red and green nav lights visible for an oncoming

    count the times I've woken up from a nap and felt disoriented.

    OK, I'll go with a groggy and disoriented FO.  What the heck was the pilot doing while his FO was asleep? Did Venus just pop up out of nowhere?
