Homonym: the evening star (Venus)
The term "evening star" commonly refers to the planet Venus, which is often visible in the western sky shortly after sunset. It shines brightly due to its reflective clouds and proximity to Earth, making it one of the most luminous objects in the night sky.
In addition to Venus, other celestial bodies can also be seen during the evening, but none are as prominent. The evening star has been a subject of fascination throughout history, appearing in various cultures' myths and literature as a symbol of beauty and guidance.
