To the left is the moon, on the right is Venus with the same luminosity if you weren't seeing it through my phone camera. It's probably the brightest I've seen in a year. Taken in Colorado so I don't know how your local orientation will differ.
I get some weird artifacting on my phone so Venus is partly blotted where it was the brightest.
Wait no Venus come back.
Yours is a lot closer to the naked eye image. I couldn't get one without zooming in to avoid surface lights.
I usually use manual controls as well. Just have a quick shutter speed and it'll capture less light so that it captures an image that is closer to what you see with the naked eye.
I think it's so bright it overloaded the sensor, that fuckin rules
Your phone sensor is actually hella good. If you look at Venus through a telescope, you'll see that we're actually seeing her perpendicular to the sun-- a quarter of it in shadow and a quarter of it in light. I think that could be why it looks so odd here.
Fuck I love astronomy
I'm a naturalist and natural scientist because it's the most real thing. Astronomy is the most real thing of the real things.
Indeed, we need look no further than the skies and our surroundings for all the beauty we could ever hope to desire, and their study intensifies this further still.
It's full cloudy tonight ;_;
praying its like that movie meloncholia and venus just gets bigger and bigger until a week from now when were all raptured
Melancholia is so fucking good. Everyone should watch Melancholia if nothing for but how they use Tristan und Isolde.
so pretty
I do stargazing classes with the city parks and I fucking love Venus. I say hi to her every evening. She's got to be going into retrograde soon, I think.
