The Moon And Venus

moonvenus The Moon And Venus

This rare daytime look at our own moon and our neighbor Venus was captured when the moon was about to eclipse our twin planet.

Although it may look amazing (and implausible) the crescent of Venus can easily be seen with little more than a pair of binoculars.  A telescopic camera lens in addition to Venus’ close approach easily creates this amazing shot.
