Venus is going setting earlier and earlier, and the summer heat is making the horizon cloudier. But there was just enough time to catch this crisp image of super-tall Venus at 2.9% illumination. Incredible just how bright something so slim can be! Catch it for yourself, before it passes into the sun's glare!
