Evident right now, Is super bright (early) in the SSE quadrant, and then early AM in the WNW quadrant.

Super bright. Ridiculously so.

Guy's?

Mars is close right now and visible with the naked eye.

This is by far, the brightest Planet presentation I can recall ever seeing.

Impressive.

I figured Mars or Jupiter. (WAG)

I think you are viewing Venus in the AM south eastern sky.  It is very bright right now.   Mars has a red cast to it and the planet I have been watching is bright white and outshines all the others.

KenK/84Bravo

Yes Sir. Very bright White.

Very, very prominent in the Sky just now.

I do not ever recall seeing a Planet quite so bright.

1st time I noticed it low on the horizon, in the SSE Quadrant last night.

*Observed it for the 1st time early AM in the WNW Quadrant about a week ago, up by the Moon.

I was kind of shocked it was so bright.

It's the MOON dude.

Sorry Ricci. This is a question/subject for Adults.

(That leaves you out.)

Ken & Ricci, Venus is the planet of LOVE.  My dad would tell ya..... You two boys shake hands and let some of those Venus light particles sink in to those thick skins of yers!!

Right now, Venus is the Morning Star and Mars is the Evening Star. In between, there are good views of Jupiter (brightest spot in the sky) and Saturn to it's left. Saturn is a not as bright, but with a decent scope 60X or so, you can make out it's rings.

The two are V and V...Venus in the East and the start Vega in the west this week. As truthful says, you can also spot Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn this week. All of them visible to the naked eye, or better with binos.

Brookwood, I mean this in the most respectfull manner possible.

You have been eating too much of that Moon Cheese.

Bite Me.

Your Planetary Pal,

Ken, is a planetary pal anything like a pen pal?  If so, I got a pen that just might fit ya!

"Quadrant" (as in 4) is 90 degrees on a compass. Using SSE/WNW breaks the segments  into 16 sections or 22.5 degrees each.   I'm sure most people could find a large, bright planet by looking, say, to the Southeast. 
As ever, your pal, Dr Pedantic.

 there is a app you can load on your phone called sky map 
 point it at the sky ( of course ) it will tell you what your looking at or at least what your suppose to see depending on the weather .
 my oldest sons GF likes star gazing and  my son told me about the app 
 kinda neat  check it out

I don't think that app would work on an old geezer phone.
