Ars Technica · As NASA faces cuts, China reveals ambitious plans for planetary explorationVon Eric Berger

Really epic image featured on @apod today!

Captured by AJ Smadi from Washington (state), in daytime skies (11:57am) on April 5th — the image shows ISS and the crescent of Venus.

The planning this would have taken to get right — very nice work!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

(I annotated the rough distances)

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: Did you know planets without tectonic plates still experience "earthquakes"? It's fascinating how seismic activity works across our solar system. 🪐🌋

#Venus has volcanic tremors, while #Mars quakes as its core cools. #Jupiter's moon Io is our favorite example—with 400 active volcanoes, it's constantly shaking from Jupiter's immense gravitational forces pulling on its crust.

An Allegory with Venus and Time

Oil on canvas, 292 x 190 cm
National Gallery, London

One of my favourite pictures from London's National Gallery. I confess I often hold this picture in my mind's eye as a form of escapism -- an escape from strip malls, bloated SUVs, megachurches with fundamentalist PowerPoints punctuated by bad rock and extempore prayer, cargo pants,
presidential make up, the Hobby Lobby...

APOD from 2025-03-31

Parker: The Solar System from Near the Sun

NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured a time-lapse from inside #Mercury's orbit, showing coronal streamers, a Coronal Mass Ejection, and #planets like Mercury and #Venus. Between #Earth and #Mars, #Comet Tempel 1 appears. The video also shows high-energy solar particles. This data helps us understand space weather impacts on Earth.

Venus and the Triply Ultraviolet Sun

This was a very unusual type of solar eclipse. Typically, it is the Earth's Moon that eclipses the Sun. In 2012, though, the planet Venus took a turn. Like a solar eclipse by the Moon, the phase of Venus became a continually thinner crescent as Venus became increasingly better aligned with the Sun. Eventually the alignment became perfect and the phase of Venus dropped to zero.

The planet #Venus as a crescent over the horizon at dawn and at dusk ON THE SAME DAY, namely today, 20 March 2025: imaged from Bochum, Germany, when the vertical distance between Venus and the Sun was ~7° at both times. Images at 5:58 CET and 19:17 CET, with the Sun 6 1/4° and 6° below and Venus 3/4° and 1 1/2° above the horizon, resp. See facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/p for image sequences from morning and evening over 15 and 20 minutes - Venus was never seen with the naked eye but easy in binoculars.
