Morning Venus

Today was our first day of getting up at 6 a.m. It was dark enough to see Venus as the Morning Star! I honestly can't remember doing that before, though of course I probably have at some point. The moon was just a faint sliver at only 7% showing – perfectly well visible before dawn, with Venus, and then invisible at about the same time that Venus was, which was 35 minutes after the official sunrise. At 30 minutes after sunrise, they were both visible, but only if you knew exactly where to look!
(Yes, I kept popping back outside to determine what the point was when Venus would disappear.)
