Venus on 031709-pt2
March 18th, 2009
A better way of looking at those three Venus photos from the last post. When they are put side-by-side, the change in the appearance of Venus over the last month is very obvious. As Venus is coming closer to Earth, its overall size is getting larger but, the Sun-exposed area that we can see is getting smaller. Hence, a thinner crescent. These photos were taken over the last month at same magnification and were processed identically.
