first star

Celestial navigation beacon

First star is the earliest star visible in the evening sky as daylight fades, traditionally Venus or another bright planet.

Children wish on it: Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight.

In some Jewish traditions, the appearance of the first star marks the end of Shabbat or a fast day.
