This night, it was very clear. A ship approaches on the river, its bright navigation lights shining directly toward the photographer. Despite the glare, the delicate presence of Mercury can still be seen in the sky.

A calm river at dusk after sunset, its still surface reflecting the soft colors of the evening sky. The bright planet Venus shines prominently above, casting a shimmering reflection on the water. Near the yellowish horizon, just above the tree line on the riverbank, the faint glow of Mercury is visible. In the center of the image, a ship approaches on the river, its bright navigation lights shining directly toward the photographer. Despite the glare, the delicate presence of Mercury can still be seen in the sky.


Crop from a photo taken a little later: Mercury is now just about to disappear behind the trees on the horizon.

Crop from a photo with the river and the stars, showing only the weak dot of Mercury next to the branches of trees.


Venus (bright at top) and Mercury (yellow, slightly above the trees, slightly left of center) above the Escaut river in Northern France. Recorded on the evening of March 5th, 2025.

A calm river reflecting the fading light of dusk after sunset. The water's surface is smooth, mirroring the deepening hues of the evening sky. Above the distant tree line on the riverbank, the bright planet Venus shines prominently, its reflection shimmering on the water. Near the yellowish horizon, just above the trees, the faint glow of Mercury is also visible, adding to the serene and celestial atmosphere of the scene.


[Assistance gravitationnelle] Ce 18 février, la sonde #SolarOrbiter de l'ESA s'approchera de la surface de #Vénus, utilisant son champ de #gravité afin de modifier sa trajectoire. Objectif : pointer ses #instruments en direction des régions polaires du #Soleil.

Depuis cette #orbite, la sonde collectera de nouvelles données inédites qui permettront d'affiner notre compréhension de l'activité solaire. Info+ : https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Operations/Solar_Orbiter_ready_for_close_encounter_with_Venus

Aphrodite is the ultimate #domme:

"Only Venus dominates Mars, and he never dominates her."
Marsilio Ficino, "On Love", 1484

Art: Venus spanks Mars by A. Willette

#Aphrodite #Venus #Ares #Mars #GreekMythology #femdom
Pencil drawing of Venus using her long hair to strike the exposed behind of Mars who is bent over her thigh. Mars wears his armour but his weapons and shield lie on the ground. Eros or Cupid is holding Mars by the foot, possibly in the process of taking off his greaves.


Pictures of our neighbor planets #Mars and #Venus, as well as #PlanetaryNebula NGC2392 taken with an 8" Newtonian and a ZWO ASI462MM camera. Color images are composites taken separately with corresponding filters. They're not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the results. #astrophotography #Astrodon #amateurastronomy
Planetary nebula NGC 2392 shown as a greenish disk in front of a sparse star field. Some colorful details are visible in the disk.
Planet Mars with its distinctive red color. Some darker areas are visible on the planet's face, as well as a hint of its polar ice cap.
A monochrome picture of planet Venus, showing its opaque cloud cover. Since Venus' orbit is inside Earth's orbit, it displays phases similar to the Moon.


This year’s public lecture series at #mpsgoettingen will be devoted to #Earth and its cosmic next of kin: the inner #planets #Mercury, #Venus and #Mars. Find more info here: https://www.mps.mpg.de/die-erde-und-ihre-geschwister
All lectures in German. See you there! #innerplanets

Walking home yesterday, I could see a beautiful crescent moon and Venus. Bewitching over the chimneys of Canonmills and Stockbridge, Edinburgh.

(I forgot to post this yesterday!)

#moon #Venus #Edinburgh #photography
A colour photograph of the early evening sky, which turns from dark inky-blue at the top of the picture through light blue to the orange afterglow of sunset. 

At the bottom of the picture the silhouette of rooftops and chimneys of Canonmills are seen, with the square tower and illuminated clockface of St Stephen's in Stockbridge towards to bottom left of the picture.

On the right of the picture, about halfway up, the slim bit bright crescent of the moon can be seen . Towards the top left is an intense bright dot, which is Venus.


Life seems to have been found. But not where they were looking


...
It is unlikely that it will be possible to explore even the nearest exoplanets with the help of automatic spacecraft in the current century. It is quite possible, however, that the answer will be found very close, on our closest neighbor in the solar system - on Venus. The surface temperature of the planet (735 K, or 462°C) and the enormous pressure (87–90 atm) of its gas envelope with a density of 65 kg/m3, consisting mainly of carbon dioxide (96.5%), nitrogen (3.5%), and traces of oxygen (less than 2·10–5%), are close to the physical conditions on many exoplanets of a special class.

Recently, television images (panoramas) of the surface of Venus, obtained thirty years ago or more, have been re-examined and processed. They found several objects ranging in size from a decimeter to half a meter, which changed shape, position in the frame, appeared in some images and disappeared in others. And on a number of panoramas, precipitation was clearly observed, which fell and melted on the surface of the planet.
