View Venus from your own front yard
http://earthsky.org/tonight/venus-brightest-for-2010-around-september-19
Venus is known as the "Morning Star" because this planet often looks like a bright "star" in the morning star. See if you can locate it in the sky.
Coolio I would love to see Venus and the video we saw today was so cool I didn't know we had 95 moons in our solar system!!!!
ReplyDelete<3 Abbey <3
I didn't know that ethere we had 95 moons, we do so thats pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't tell whichstar from the next, but i'll keep trying.How knows I mite find it sooner or lateter.
ReplyDeleteLook for Jupiter at the end of September. It will be the closest to Earth in 30 by Sept 30. It can be seen along the eastern horizon at sunset rising higher through the night until it is high over head at mid-night. I know that is well past your bed time. Well if the truth be told that is well past my bed time too
ReplyDeleteawsome ill take a look
ReplyDeleteive herd weird but cool things about Venus. Im interested deeply

ReplyDeleteIt would be awesome to see Venus from my own yard. Also I really liked the video we watched, it was really cool and interesting to learn that we had 95 moons.
ReplyDeletei think seeing venus from here would be so cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool! Although I will probably be askleep at that time in the morning!!!! haha, I didn't even know that we could see planets in our sky... how close to earth will it be?
ReplyDeleteyea i`ve heard about venus and how it is very hot. I couldnt find it but i found the moon duhh. yea the reason it looks as bright as a star is because it basicly is its a huge ball of lava basiclly
ReplyDeleteI did locate Venus with my telescope on Saturday for a badge for my Boy Scout Troop. But Venus is also called earths sister because they are so close in size.But it cannot be inhabited YET.Its atphmosphere is a lander's nightmare, when entering,the ship will crush and will be destroyed along with its crew and also its surface is covered with a poisionous sulfur gas.
ReplyDeletesweet i want to go home and see it now, and just putting it out there what if earth had more then 1 moon? what would you think
ReplyDeleteEthan Merucrio
Yeah 95 moons that we KNOW OF Abby!
ReplyDeleteI think seeing venus from my yard would be so cool. I think the video we watched was really neat because I never knew that 95 moons existed.
ReplyDeleteI wanna see venus,And i didnt know we had 95 moons in our solar system, that video was really intersting. But i'll probably sleep through it though
ReplyDeleteThat would be sweet to see venus in the sky
ReplyDeleteI have never ever seen venus before so if i look up tonight i hope i will see it
ReplyDelete95 moons and counting that is really cool
ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool because Iv'e never really thought about anything other than earth and the sun. I know all the planets but from what I learned from the video I'll never think of space and other planets like I used too again. I also think it's really cool that we can see Venus from all the way down here.
ReplyDeleteSeasn I never knew that venus was called Earth's sister. That's so cool.
ReplyDeleteActually Ethan scientists belive that the earth had two moons. But eventually they formed into one big moon either that or the rogue planet Orpheus crashed into the earth after it condensed and then Orpheus's iron core and everything else gone to the moon which explains how on the moon there is no Iron core, Mars is covered with iron, thats why its red, its a total RUST bucket there.
ReplyDeleteI didn`t know you could see other planets and moons from earth. I never really tried though im going to try it.
ReplyDeleteLike George said since the movie I don`t picture space as I used to.
ReplyDeleteI think that it would be amazing to see Venuse from your front yard!I also really liked the video about our moons, i would have never known we had 95 in our solar system! I thought we had 1.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty cool how we have 95 moons in our solar system. I didnt now that and ikm going to start looking for them
ReplyDeletewow well i will check that out to mrs martz it would be amazing to see jupiter and i would love to do it maybe ill be able to see it
ReplyDeleteAlso i aggre with Brendan and George. I have a diferent perspective about space now because of the video.
ReplyDeleteI Agree with Abbyb Jaspers i thought we only had 1 moon to its very intresting those how all the moons keep us alive.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Abby and Anthony, I look at space now a differnt way, and I never really realized how HUGE it is, having 95 moons, +++ planets!
ReplyDeleteIt would be pretty cool to see Venus in the sky. I will try.
ReplyDelete95 is a big number i would have never guessed we would have 95 moons in our solar system i thought each planet would have 1 of its own but once again science prooves me wrong.
ReplyDeleteEthan Mercurio
That is awesome that you an see Venus from our own yard. I never new that you could see other planets from ares.
ReplyDeleteI also agreee with you madison the video was very interesting. I have learned alot and i never new there was 95 moons. I alwasy thought there was a moon or two for each planet.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that that Venus is the brighest planet in our solar system and that I could be able to see it in my front yard this week.That is so cool.The video we watched was very interesting that our solar system had 95 moons and counting!!!
ReplyDeleteThat neat that you could walk out side in the dark and see venusas a star.

ReplyDeleteWhile i was reading this post i was wondering if we didn't have our moon right now would Venus be our moon? If not what would be our moon? And wow 95 moons...in the solar system...that's just amazing
ReplyDeleteSean I never knew that Earth and Venus was so similar in size that they call Venus "Earth's Sister".That is very cool and interesting!!!
ReplyDeleteMadison, i agree with you the video was interesting,But i would want to rewatch the video beause at times i was getting confused
ReplyDeletewow that would be cool to see venus I will look for it tonight
ReplyDeletei'll try to stay up late to see venus but i'm sure my moms gonna yell at me but i'll just say "mom, this is for education! stop nagging me woman!"
ReplyDeleteVenus is going to be one of the brightest thing in the sky and i can't beleve cant beleve that people would confuse it with a UFO(unidentified flying object)and the F stands for flying not floating and Venus can't fly IT ORBITS
ReplyDeletethat is so cool now that i know thier is 95 moons in our solor system i am more interested in space because i only thought thier were like 20 or something.!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteciarra earls
Same here George Il'l never think of planets of just big things in the sky I have a whole new kind of respect for them.
ReplyDeletei was the one who was talking to george Adam Lyons
ReplyDeleteI had no idea we could see other plantes in our own yard! That's amazing! I'll deffinatly try to look, I hope I will be awake to see it. And i agree, the 95 moons & counting was soo cool, I never knew there were that many moons in our solar system!
ReplyDelete-Corissa Sturm,(:
I really enjoyed the interesting video that we watched on Friday
ReplyDelete...I didn't know there were as many as 95 mooons! I also think it would be cool to be able to see venus from my own house.
I saw venus last night, it was pretty cool. Well...it almost looked like a star to me, but my dad clarified that it was venus. Venus was bigger than the stars, but not by much. It was big enough to be noticable. In 2020, my dad says that we could see venus again, the same distance and everything. They say it wont get any closer to the earth, so each year it'll be the same.
ReplyDeletei would like to see venus from my back yard and i would have liked to see the shadow it was talking about in the link. i never knew we had 95 moons i thought we had around 30 moons. space is so interesting and has lots of mysterys that are waiting to be solved.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be cool to see Venus. My dad has a good quality telescope and a star/constellation locator. I don't think venus is on the locator, but it might be. Hopefully my dad will set up his telescope if I remember to tell him.
ReplyDeleteomg
ReplyDeletewow.........i cant wait to see it i will be sure to have my telscope thingy attached and ready to take pictures.
cant wait!!! sooo cool
I think it would be cool to see Venus. My dad has a good quality telescope and a star/constellation locator. I don't think venus is on the locator, but it might be. Hopefully my dad will set up his telescope if I remember to tell him.

I `ve seen Venus in the sky and was the britest thing in the sky.Also i liked the video we whched in class.I didn`t know we had 95 moons.I thote we had 60 or something around that.
ReplyDeleteDavid Meiners
venus is kinda like earths sister.......i very much agree with ya rachel
ReplyDeletei have a question.
is it all week, one night, or all day
it would be cool Ethan if earth had more than one moon and what if we could live on one of them?
ReplyDeleteI think that it is cool that Venus is closer to Earth right now I'm going to look for it tonight because i thinki t would be really cool to see!
ReplyDeleteI liked 95 moons and counting I thought their was only 1 moon in outer space. And ill look for venus tonight and post again tomorrow. I hope i can see it.
ReplyDeleteKelly Rogers
Ben I agree with you on everything you said.
ReplyDeleteDavid Meiners
Hey, Mrs. Martz, I think it would be cool to see Jupiter from my backyard. I think my dad let us see Saturn with his telescope a while ago. It was cool to see the rings.
ReplyDeletePosted by Sam Tendam
That would be amazing to see Venus from my own frount yard. I have a feeling that it would be pretty intresting. I never knew that we have 95 moons and counting. I think thats pretty amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool that some people can see venus at night I always thought it was the sun on the other side of earth like when it is night time in my part of town it is day time on the other side of earth.
ReplyDeleteI think that somewhere in the universe there is some parrallel galaxy that is filled with life sustaining planet. If only we could reach them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Mrs.Martz i would be asleep too. If it were on a friday night i could proubly stay up. I could also set my alarm clock:)
ReplyDeletethat would be pretty cool to see venus,but i have seen mars right next to the moon witch was alot cooler than venus and i think its awesome we have 95 moons..i didnt even think we had 9 planets let alon 95
ReplyDeleteI think it's really neat how venus is. I will watch the sky to see venus.
ReplyDeletei would love to see venus from my front yard and yea i agree with alot of people its way past my bedtime but yea i would stay up to see that because that video was awesome it inspired me to study more about it.
ReplyDeletehunter steimle

Jarod,
ReplyDeleteI think that would be so cool if we could, and if there was, I totally agree, that would be amazing if we could reach them!
-Corissa Sturm,(:
Also i had no clue we had 95 moons in our solar system. I thought there was just one moon for every planet not 2 or more.
ReplyDeletewell even if its past my bed time i have a sky window in my room so ha!
ReplyDeleteno to be like rubbing it in or anything.........ilyg
Wow I would love to see Venus 2nd closet planet to the sun. I also couldnt belive that wee have 95 moons in our solor system and that Saturn has the most
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool, I have seen that lately and I thought it was like a space station or something.
ReplyDelete- Michael Van Schoik
I agree with Stephanie seeing Venus would be awsome.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that we have 95 moons in our univers that alot! It would of been pretty cool see venus in the sky! Also it would be really awesome to see Jupiter from my own backyard!
ReplyDeleteSam, my Dad has a telescope too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should look at venus through my Das's telescope.
I have seen the big bright light lately, aka Venus.
- Michael Van Schoik
I knew that our solar system had a more than one moon. One for Earth and i knew some planets had more than one moon. But before we watched the video, i never would have guessed we had any more than 25! And then i find out there's 95! I didnt know Venus was supposed to get close to Earth, how close was it? And i didnt know you would actually be able to see any planet!
ReplyDeleteAnd Drew i agree, it is like a big ball of lava!
ReplyDeleteThe video about 95 moons and counting was soo cool. It taught me a lot. I would like to see Venus after and or during the sunset. I will watch out for it>>>
ReplyDeletei would take any chance to see any of our beautiful planets they are just so cool looking and fun to learn about.And abbey it was cool how we have 95 moons in our solar system i didnt know that either i just thought we had that one by our earth.
ReplyDelete~Kristin Murphy
it would be really cool to see venus from my front yard.
ReplyDeleteim with owen i had no idea there was 95 moons
I think that it would be so cool to see Venus from my own front yard. I will see if I can see it on the 30th.
ReplyDeleteWow, 95 moons is a lot! I've never seen Venu before. One time I went up to a plantarium to see it through a telescope, but the sky was too cloudy. And it was kind of boring because the tour guide talked a lot.
ReplyDeleteAw! I can't believe that I missed seeing Venus on Friday. That would've been the greatest oppourtunity for me! I have seen Venus a few years ago, but I wanted to see it again. When will it come out again?

ReplyDeleteI think it is amazing that we can see other planets from our front yard occasionaly. I also think it's amazing that it is possible to have 95 moons in our solar system. I thought the planets were interesting but I loved learning about the moons!!! @ Mrs. Martz I think I will stay up to see it (: haha
ReplyDeleteAlso Abbey I had no clue that we had 95 moons in our solar system i thought there was like one for every plannet.
ReplyDeletethat is so cool that it was the brightest planet in the solar system i wouldve loved to get to see it
ReplyDelete-Dylan Humbert
cool i have seen it once but couldnt locate it i would love to learn about this. it looks so cool i love all the colors its so pretty.
ReplyDelete<3carlie<3
i thought it was so cool that we have 95 moons who wouldve thought!
ReplyDelete-Dylan Humbert
wow, i think it would be really cool to see venus!!
ReplyDelete~Daniel O'Hearn
I think it was pretty cool to read that Venus will come beween us and the sun, I talked to some people around me and we settled on the idea of it causing a minor eclipse, not sure it would happen but how cool would that be?
ReplyDeleteSeeing Venus from my front yard would be the coolest thing! Venus is the brightest plant, but from Earth it looks like a star. I will be keeping in eye of for our neighboring plant!
-Kylie(8
I would like to see venus. I might go outside tonight and find it in the sky
ReplyDeleteI would love to see venus I want to learn more about it all
ReplyDeleteI know is that it is yellow.I think?`
~Charles~
i cant wait!!!! i love the solar system so i will look for it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYa Dylan I never knewwe had 95 moons.
ReplyDeleteDuring the last week of september venus the brightest planet in our solar system is very close to earth. the planet will apper after sunset and you cant miss it. I learned about venus from the vedio that we watched on friday.
ReplyDeletei dont know a whole lot about it but i would love to learn more and cant wait
ReplyDeleteI think it is cool that you can see venus in the sky. I Also never knew that it is also called a star.
ReplyDeleteI think that's cool how another planet comes between the Earth and the sun and that it appears as a cresent like the moon!
ReplyDeletewhen venus comes around i will look for it.
I think it is very cool to learn about the planets and how we can see them on Earth like Venus. It is very weird that Venus looks like a star when we would see it in our backyard. In fact I've seen Venus in my own back yard and to me it looks like the brightest star in the sky.
ReplyDeleteRichmond, Alex
Venus is a star???? I didn't know that! That's so totally awesome! I love science!!
ReplyDelete-Emily Heckman
Commenting on Amber Coor's:
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Amber, I can't wait to learn more about the Solar System and can't wait to see the planet Venus and Jupiter at the end of the month!!!!!
at cliffeemma :
ReplyDeleteits too bad you couldn't see the stars and planets through the telescope. I bet it would have been really cool.
i think it would be cool to see venus at night .
ReplyDeletei think it wouldve been cool to seen venus to daniel i really wonder what it would look like up close!
ReplyDelete-Dylan Humbert
I think Venus is very coolio because when I looked at it on Friday and I thought it was so coolio and I was trying to take a oicture but it just turned out pitch black and you can't see venus!!!!!!
ReplyDelete<3 Abbey <3
mrs.martz when im outside at night time i awalys try to look for venus ussaly when i see it its some what closeto the moon.but i did not no it was called the morning star.NATHAN STENGER
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Say we say Uranus in the bottom left hand corner of the sky. If we were on Uranus, would we see earth in the top right hand corner of the sky?
ReplyDeleteNow that I know you can see Venus I want to learn more about Venus.
ReplyDeletethats cool. i never thought that there was 95 moons.the video was cool cause i never knew you could fly on a moon.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is realy cool how venus is going to be so close to the earth. I am going to look at it thur a telescope. I wonder what it is going to look like.
ReplyDeleteNick Aichele
I've never accutally observed a planet from my front yard so I bet it will be interesting to see. I will check if I can view it or not.
ReplyDeleteVenus is a bright star but you really cant see from where we stand on erth because planets have so long of a distance. Venus is a morning star but when I look up in the sky in the morning its not there.
ReplyDeleteI think it is cool that we can see venus from Earth.I know it is very bright, but man that sure is bright. I will look for it tonight.
ReplyDeleteVenus is the brightest star you really can't miss it. i know that venus is the "Morning Star" but i look at the sky all the time and i don't see a thing maybe I need to look a little harder
ReplyDeletewow i think that is so cool that you can see venus in the sky. If that looks so cool just think what its like in space kristan dalton
ReplyDeleteAt Jenna
ReplyDeleteI am also suprised that we have 95 moons in the universe. Never would have thought of that.
I think it is cool that we will be able to see Jupiter as well. Our solar system is amazing.
ReplyDeletewow i will check that out mrs martz ill look on september 30th could u tell me wwhaqt it looks like for when that night comes ?????!?!?!????!!!!!?
ReplyDeleteAbout a month ago you could see the space station in the sky as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool! I like learning about the solar system. I think we should do fun activities on the aolar system.
ReplyDeleteI think that is so cool that we have 95 moons. My uncle has claimed that there are other planets that have life on them because our sun is a star just like all the stars we see at night. Which means that they are also suns. I am definetley looking forward to seeing Venus.
ReplyDelete-Kaleigh McCarthy :)
I think that it will be really cool to be able to see it from my yard. I can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that you could see venus from your telscope thats amazing
ReplyDeleteI like space. I always see venus in the sky when you are able to. i did not know venus is called "the morning star". I also did'nt know it is the brightest planet. Austin tilford.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Venus because it's one of the eight planets that we can see from earth at sertain times of the year.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Hudson

ReplyDeleteB3Th
$M!DDy <3
Kaleigh I had no idea that the sun was a star scince when has it been a star! Also i didnt think thst all the other star in the solar system would be suns!
ReplyDeleteAbby B. If your so disapointed about not seeing it on your camera than why don't you cheke online for one.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs.Martz, I never knew that Venus was that close to the Earth. I was also wondering I never saw Venus but does it evr block out the moon or can you always see the moon and Venus? I'm really disapointed I diden't see it because it could be another 30 years to see it like that but there well be other chances.Are there any other planets we can see from Earth or is this it. Thank you for talking about this because if tou diden't I would have never known about Venus.
