Venus near the Moon (24th April 2012)

Hi,

Venus and the Moon were a lovely sight last Tuesday (24th April 2012). See an image I took at my web site:

Variable Star Nights

When they pass again next month Venus will be about only 1/3 as high. By then Venus will be moving towards
solar inferior conjunction. It will be not just any inferior conjunction - but a transit crossing the sun.
