Hey, Space Placers!
No missing Venus in the night sky, especially on Feb. 14, 2025, when it will be at its brightest. Time to look for your Venusian shadow! (WTOP/Greg Redfern)
While you are enjoying Valentine’s Day, be sure to say hello to the Goddess of Love, the planet Venus, high and super bright in the southwestern sky.
If you are in a dark sky site while looking, use a white sheet or piece of white cardboard, even a white colored car, to try and see your shadow being cast by the light of Venus! Today she is at greatest brilliancy and can actually cast your shadow as a result.
Put your car or material so it faces Venus. If you can see the light of Venus on your object, turn your back to Venus and move so you are centered. Use your smartphone/camera to take a pic and check the results. If clear, I will be doing the same myself.
