Thanks, Amarie. I never realized they were explicitly set out like that.

By the way, Venus is an evening "star" half the time and a morning "star" the other half, as is Mercury. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can be in the sky at any time of night. Which hemisphere you are in is not relevant. That just effects whether the planets tend to be in the southern half of the sky or the northern half.
