Aha, thanks for solving that mystery. I saw it a few nights ago and thought to myself it was crazy bright and in the wrong place (not to mention wrong color) to be Venus.

October 6th was the closest approach: https://mars.nasa.gov/all-about-mars/night-sky/close-approach/
If you are on Android, I highly recommend (formerly Google) Sky Map for figuring out what that bright thing in the sky is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.stardroid&hl=en_US&gl=US

I have a few such apps for my iOS devices but I simply forgot about it a few minutes after spotting it. Old man memory.

I recently got LED head and tail lights for my rides, to be seen in case it’s dark or overcast. Not for going out this late, of course. That’s a pretty view though.
