IS there a planet close to the moon tonight in the sky, shortly after sunset?

I see a bright "star" but it looks too bright, my guess is venus or something but i lost my astro software.

They want you to think it's a planet. That's the mothership! It's time to go home!:sun:

Venus is the 3rd brightest object in the sky.
