Continuing with the astronomy theme: if you look at Venus right - TopicsExpress



          

Continuing with the astronomy theme: if you look at Venus right now with even a small telescope (e.g., the kinds of spotting scopes that birders use), you can see that its a crescent -- only about one-third of what we can see is illuminated right now (the side toward the sun, of course). It will set within a couple of hours after sunset, so you have to look early. Its the brilliant evening star in the southwestern sky.
