Re: [tied] Lucifer

Yet Venus IS the evening star. Could the answer lie in the possibility that both Venus and Earth are similar?

Likely mirror images of each other?

Thus, we have evidence that Venus as the evening star "could" be brighter. What I don't understand is the difference between Venus as either the morning or evening star?

Venus is brighter as the evening star than as the morning star? That doesn't make sense astronomically. Psychologically the morning star is the more significant, as a herald of the dawn (who needs a herald of the night?). The light "lucifer" or "pHo:spHoros" brings is not its own but the sun's. This is made clear by the earlier Greek name, going back to Homer, eo:spHoros. Dan --- In cybalist@yahoogroups.com, "Gerry" <waluk@...> wrote: > Thanks Piotr.
