This is my home page, I find it helps me get in the right frame of mind

That's an amazing site, Tony.
I like this from yesterday...
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080830.html

The dark blue sky, some days if you know where to look you can see Venus
in the sky all day as a small star not far froim the sun, particularly on
deep blue summer days here..

It must be amazing to see from Everest.

The moonset here tonight was amazing, the smallest portion of a waxing
moon I think I've ever seen Venus wasn't far behind. to set. venus / moon
conjunction tomorrow.

This is a good shot of August's eclipse with Mercury and Venus clearly
evident. in a 3 -d prespective you see we are the third rock from the
sun.

I'm not deeply interested in astronomy, but I love this simple visual
stuff. I used to take the dog for a walk before dawn very day and watch
the slow daily movement of the planets against the starry background -
that gives a nice insight into celestial mechanics. A few years ago I was
doing field work out of town, and has the foresight to take a few pieces
of exposed 35mm film from the end of a roll with me, so I was able to
watch the transit of Venus across the sun.


That would have been something!

I'm not right into it either, i do have a telescope, though. Watching
Jupiter's moons move daily is interesting, and Saturns' rings are so clear.

Never had much luck with Mars, nor Mercury.

Depending on the phases of Venus, it also casts a light when full, like moon
light though much much feinter. I had the blinds open one night and watched
a full moon beam in with it's light most of the night. Before sunrise I
noticed a similar, feinter sort of light move it's way across the room for a
litle while.

People don't beleive me when I tell them that, like when I tell them you can
see Venus during the day at cetain times.
