Is that a plane landing in the western sky, just after sunset? No, it’s Venus at its greatest elongation (farthest from the Sun and less washed out.)
Did you know that Venus has phases, like our moon? Only you can never perceive a Full Venus, because that happens when Venus is on the far side of the Sun.
