That is actually the planet Venus! It is an amazing sight and will appear incredibly bright in the night sky through September. (23 times brighter than the brightest night-sky star, Sirius, in late September!!!)

It is the brightest among many bright planets to be spotted this month. Also visible, although much dimmer will is the planet Mars. There is a very noticeable dull and reddish tint to Mars.
Also, this weekend is the Supermoon Total Lunar Eclipse. More in yesterday's blog on this can be found HERE
