That bright object in the eastern sky after sunset is Jupiter:

It’s been bright for a few weeks now, and will probably continue a few weeks more, but today is special:

Earth will sweep between the sun and Jupiter on September 26, 2022, placing the giant planet opposite the sun in our sky and closer than in 70 years. – EarthSky website

I never cease to marvel at the mathematical precision of it all, and the folks who keep up with it.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? (Psalm 8.3, 4, ESV)

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. (Psalm 19.1, ESV)
