It is hardly news to those who read uk.sci.astronomy, but this
morning the sky is unusually clear and blue, so I went out just
before sunrise and marked a position where Venus was lined up with
a chimney, then looked again 40 minutes later. Venus is easy to
see in a clear blue sky as long as you know approximately where to
look. Clearly visible and bright, at 0740, well after sunrise
this morning 5 October. Just looked again at 0750, still there
despite having the Sun shining directly on me.
A few years ago I was on holiday in the Canaries when I was
Laid on my back sun bathing and looked up at the deep blue sky
and, purely by chance, spotted venus. Not bad for lunch time!
Even more interesting is that I was wearing prescription sunglasses.
My eyes are about 2 dioptres short sighted so I would not have seen it
without
the correction of the prescription lenses.
