What is the bright star (planet) often veiwed in the southern sky?

Saturn is to the left and slightly above a brighter star ( Venus?) looking east just before sunrise in the fall. Is this the same bright star seen in a somewhat southern veiw late at night in the fall?What is the bright star (planet) often veiwed in the southern sky?Bright Jupiter dominates the July sky for the first half of the night. Jupiter appears as a very bright, almost brilliant white star-like object, high above the southern horizon in the early July evening twilight. By late July Jupiter is high above the south-southwestern horizon in evening twilight. The largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter is the brightest star-like object most often seen in the night sky,What is the bright star (planet) often veiwed in the southern sky?

I believe it is Venus that is seen low on the western horizon around sunset in summer months Dec/Feb.What is the bright star (planet) often veiwed in the southern sky?If you'd given a date, you would get a more positive answer. As it is today, 29 July, in the evening, that is Jupiter below and to the East of the Star Arcturus. In early Aug. Venus will be rising in the East just before dawn, and if you can get a good position fix on it, you can see it all day with the naked eye. Saturn and Mercury will also be in the picture , and you can identify them by their magnitudes from brightest to dimmest... Venus, Mercury, and Saturn.
