This weeks apod blog is about the photo labeled: "Calm, Cresent Moon, and Venus." The moon and venus are seen relatively close to each other. The photo is taken in the conjunction from Sweden, located about the calm lake of Vallentuna. On May 16th, the moon is occulted in front of Venus. For many of citizens, they occultation can also be seen during the daylight hours. My favorite aspect of the photo will be the colors of the sky line beyond Venus and the moon. Being able to witness this on a clear night would be such an amazing opportunity.
