Yeah, In the Chapter "Farewell to Lorien, Galadriel gives Frodo the Phial of Galadriel. She states that it contains light from their most important star, Earendil. Most assume that Earendil became the Morning and Evening star, which I believe is Venus, but modern scientist include Mercury in this classification. Actually, "evening star" or "morning star" nearly always refers to Venus, which is by far the brightest celestial object in the sky after the sun and moon. Mercury is much dimmer and only visible for a few weeks of the year.
