The False Star

Bird, plane ... UFO, the planet Venus has been accused of all of the above at some time or another, often by experienced pilots and mariners; it is anyone's guess whether that confusion may have contributed to the twist in the connotations of the planet's other popular name, Lucifer:

Lucifer is a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the direct translation of the Greek eosphoros ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphoros, "light-bearer") used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically the same meaning as Prometheus who brought fire to humanity. In that passage, Isaiah 14:12, it referred to one of the popular honorific titles of a Babylonian king; however, later interpretations of the text, and the influence of embellishments in works such as Dante's The Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost, led to the common idea in Christian mythology and folklore that Lucifer was a poetic appellation of Satan.

That bright object in the west night sky appears to be Venus. Several other planets will be visible through the year but Venus has taken over for the time being.
