Mercury Meets Crescent Venus

By ways4.eu on Fri May 29 2020

That’s not a bright star and crescent Moon caught between branches of a eucalyptus tree. It’s Venus in a crescent phase and Mercury. Near the western horizon after sunset, the two inner planets closely shared this telescopic field of view on May 22, seen from a balcony in Civitavecchia, Italy. Venus, the very bright celestial […]

By ways4.eu on Thu May 28 2020

Still bathed in sunlight, the International Space Station arced through the evening sky over lake Wulfsahl-Gusborn in northern Germany, just after sunset on March 25.

The largest canyon in the Solar System cuts a wide swath across the face of Mars.
