Astro-challenge: Following Venus from dusk until dawn

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

Venus passes just under 9 degrees north of the sun in 2025 , marking a rare, once-a-decade optimal chance to follow the slender crescent right through its transition from dusk and into the dawn sky.

Venus is slimming down as it heads toward inferior conjunction between the Earth and the sun on March 23 .

After this weekend , Venus transitions from an evening into a morning star, gradually reemerging low in the dawn sky. Venus reaches greatest elongation 46 degrees west of the sun on June 1 , shining at magnitude -3.9. May your very own neighborhood Venus expedition be as successful and adventurous. Be sure to track down Venus if you can this weekend , and follow its celestial exploits from one evening to the next. It's a fun study of the very limits of what the human eye is capable of under the right conditions, and provides a great link to our astronomical past. Provided by Universe Today .
