Hey there Venutian Vagabonds, Vociferous vivacious
Trace here to point you in the direction of

00:06.606 --> 00:09.242 align:left position:82.5% line:89% size:7.5%
our voluptuous neighbor planet, Venus.

00:09.342 --> 00:13.913 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
Venus was named for the Roman goddess of Love
and Beauty -- similar to Aphrodite in Greece.

As it is closer to the sun than we are, Venus
will often appear in the morning before the

00:18.651 --> 00:20.453 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
sun or just after it sets.

00:20.553 --> 00:24.491 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
For this reason the ancient Greeks actually
had TWO names for this one planet - the Greeks

00:24.591 --> 00:28.461 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
called it Phosphorus and Hesperus -- morning
star and evening star.

00:28.561 --> 00:32.365 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
They finally realized it was just one planet
around 30 BCE!

00:32.465 --> 00:36.036 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
Only the sun and moon are brighter in the
sky than Venus, which makes it easy to find!

00:36.136 --> 00:40.807 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
Wake up early (around 5am, and Venus will
already be well above the horizon), shining

00:40.907 --> 00:41.808 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
bright and pure.

00:41.908 --> 00:43.176 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
What a stunner.

00:43.276 --> 00:47.276 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
