I was wondering if someone could tell me what two planets have been quite
bright over the western horizon, at about 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. the past 10-14
days.  One of them (the brighter) I believe is Venus.  The other I'm not
sure about and would lke to know.  Their position has been changing quite
rapidly.  When I first noticed them their approximate relative positios were:


				*





		     *

The lower planet being the brighter of the two.  As of last night, at about
5:30 p.m. EST their positions were:

		*

Can someone please tell me what I am looking at?  Thank you.
