Venus

I had this photo I took on December 28th which I wanted to share, but didn't because I was on my little hiatus.


Living on Oahu which is highly populated and full of lights, I don't often get to see a lot of stars.

But on this night I saw that lovely orange glow on the horizon and a bright dot next to the moon. At first I thought it was an airplane, but it didn't move. Art looked at his SkyView app and discovered that it was Venus! How awesome is that?

  1. That was a neat photo capture of Venus. Looks like a pair of eyes winking.

  10. I saw a very similar configuration of moon and Venus about the same time -- in Vermont. It was a beautiful sight.
