On June 7th, Venus will be at superior conjunction--a wonderful sight if only we could see it. Like the Moon, Venus has phases
and on June 7th it will be gloriously full. The
entire hemisphere facing Earth will be illuminated. Venus's
acid-laced clouds are terrific reflectors and a full Venus would
surely be visible in broad daylight, an intense
pinprick of light in the blue sky.
Venus's passsage behind the
sun marks an important transition. Earlier this year, Venus was a
"morning star." After it emerges from behind the sun, it will become a
evening star later in June.
