Explanation:
Venus is now appearing on
the celestial stage
as Earth's brilliant evening star, performing with
the Moon, other wandering planets, and bright stars
in western skies.
For evening sky gazers
on June 17, the celestial beacon rose after sunset close by
a young, slender, crescent Moon.
But from some locations the Moon could be seen to occult or pass in
front of Venus.
And from a backyard observatory in
southern British Columbia, Canada, the
lunar occultation was played out in daylight.
This stunning telescopic snapshot captured
a scene in dramatically cloudy skies,
following Venus' hour long disappearance,
as the evening star emerged beyond the bright lunar limb.
