That would be Jupiter with four visible moons. Both Jupiter and Saturn are in the evening sky between N & E after end of twilight. Saturn also has a few visible moons. Venus is in the same direction but in the early morning hours before sunrise. Venus is also visible all day (unaided) until it sets before the Sun in the early afternoon. It is currently the morning 'star' and in a few months will move back to the evening sky and become the evening 'star'. Of course 'star' in Venus' case refer to planet.

I highly recommend Stellarium for PC/Mac and app.

Enjoy!
