You can get up early to observe Venus now! Venus, which shines brightly in the western sky at dusk in the first half of the year, has passed between the earth and the sun (inferior junction), appeared in the eastern sky before sunrise! In ancient China, the Venus that appeared in the morning was called "Tai-bai Venus"(太白金星). The apparent diameter of Venus observed today is 56.7 arcseconds, and the illuminated part is only 2.4%, so it looks like an ultra-thin small crescent moon! Because Venus is currently very close to the sun, it was originally worried that the sky would be too bright to observe. Unexpectedly, Venus is so powerful that I caught it breaking through the eastern clouds ten minutes before sunrise! After that, I continued to observe it almost half an hour after sunrise. Watching this tiny moon slowly rise and disappear in the gray sky is really fascinating. In the upper right corner of the image is a crescent Venus captured with a 600mm focal length lens. You can also see the dispersion phenomenon where Venus appears to have red, yellow, and green colors due to atmospheric refraction.
