  I was wondering what the two planets could be. One of them was obviously
(or perhaps not so obviously) Venus, but the other was a mystery. Possibly
Mars, but it seemed quite bright taking into account that being on the
Sun's side it would mean it would be quite far in its orbit.

  OTOH Jupiter is even farther, significantly farther, to coincide visually
with Venus. Of course Jupiter is a lot larger, but still...
