I don't understand this article. i thought that Venus is that large star that appears next to the moon, in the early evening or before sunshine

[Guest]

Venus?
The article talks about Mars, not Venus.

And yes, Venus is that large star at sunrise.

[19101989]

I know that's why I asked you why Mars is the one next to the moon not Venus. Any way. No Problem. Forget it

[Guest]

Venus travels through the sky just like the moon. If you watch Venus and the moon, after three hours Venus will be farther from the moon. Mars also travels. Neither of them travel with the moon. Sometimes Venus and Mars are very close together, while the moon is nowhere in sight.

Hm, I will see if I can find a trajectory for you after my class (which ends in about 3 hours from now).
