Explanation:
Venus now
appears as Earth's brilliant morning star, standing
in a line-up of planets above the
southeastern horizon before dawn.
For most, the silvery celestial
beacon rose predawn in a close pairing
with an old crescent Moon on Monday, December 7.
But also widely
seen from locations in North and Central
America, the lunar crescent
actually
occulted or passed in front of Venus
during Monday's daylight hours.
This time series follows the daytime approach of Moon and morning star
in clear blue skies from Phoenix, Arizona.
The progression of nine
sharp
telescopic snapshots, made between 9:30am and 9:35am local time,
runs from lower left to upper right, when Venus
winked out behind the
bright lunar limb.
