As usual Min's advice is misleading, to say the least. You're almost
certainly seeing the planet Mars, which is approaching opposition
(which it will reach near the end of August) and so rises around
sunset. Try looking ESE near the horizon just a little earlier in the
evening and you should see it shining steadily while the stars around
it are 'twinkling' -- this effect is characteristic of planets.
