What is that bright star on the horizon??im no astronomer just notice it when I walk the dog...........?

It depends which direction the dog is going. If you're walking west or northwest, it's probably Venus. If you're walking south or southeast, it's probably Jupiter.

Most of the answers come from people who don't know much about astronomy, and automatically answer Venus because that was the answer last month. Hey, folks, it's June: Venus is rapidly sinking in the west, and Jupiter is now shining brightly in the south all night long! Big news: the sky changes!

wel it surely is venus its the most brightest object after the moon it is bright because it has a thick atmosphere thus it traps heat of the sun it gets and the green house effects statrs dere too like we have it on earht but he problem is dat the light radiates because of the intense heat.

Yep, the planet Venus

that would probably be Venus it`s usually the first star one sees at dusk.very bright.

I think its ET come back to get his sister but has got stuck in a time bubble hence why you see it every night don't pay to go budget spacetravel.

I believe what you see is the planet Venus, which is currently visible in the early evening.

Venus. It varies in magnitude -3.8 to -4.6 which makes it far brighter than Sirius, the brightest star, which is -1.46 magnitude.

Are you sure that it was not a lighthouse...or other terrestrial light?
