That depends on what time it is, what date it is, where you're located, and
what direction you're looking. Regardless of any details, though, I'll just bet
there are a lot more than two of them !

∙ 15y agoAccording to this website http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/ataglance the two bright stars in the sky during late November are Jupiter and Venus. Here is from the website. Venus and Jupiter (magnitudes -4.1 and -2.1, respectively) shine brightly in evening twilight. They're in the southwest, with brighter Venus to Jupiter's lower right. Watch them close in on each other for the rest of November, by 1° per day. They're 16° apart on November 14th and only 8° apart on the 22nd. These two brightest planets are heading toward a spectacular conjunction, 2° apart, on November 30th and December 1st - when the crescent Moon will join in!
