Venus in the daytime.

It should be quite easy to spot Venus during the daylight today. If anyone was up early this morning you would have noticed that Venus is about
5 degrees North of a beautiful crescent moon.

To locate, first find the moon (it culminates at about 9:30am). The two points of the crescent moon are pointing directly at Venus. If you hold your hand at arms length and use two fingers side by side and place them at the top of the crescent points, Venus will be just above your fingers......that is, your fingers will be in between the moon and Venus.

Good luck.
