What is the bright object above the moon in Sudbury, Ontario?
There is a bright object above the moon in Sudbury, highly visible to the eye, nothing else as bright in the sky except for the moon. I'm looking around 6 and 7am. What is it ?

Hi -- since things move in the sky :-), you should provide the date as well as time of observation.

It's probably the planet Venus. You can use an online planetarium (or one of the many mobile apps) to identify objects. This link shows the sky this morning at 6:45am at your location:
