Sickle Venus

On 03/08/2025 07:02 pm by Roberto Ortu | Website | Cabras, Sardinia, Italy

In this photo the planet shows well its luminous sickle which will be more and more thin until the lower conjunction of March 23, then it will return to be observable in the morning sky before dawn.
These days the planet is visible after sunset, down to the west and not far from Mercury.
