Since venus is very bright these days, another fun thing to do is go out
at noon on a clear day and look at it.  Get a good idea of the relative
positions of the sun and venus (and possibly the moon) the evening before.
Then cover the sun with an outstretched hand and scan the area you think
venus is in.  Keep your eyes moving until you find it since they notice
moving objects better than still ones.
