PhotographerJoshua BarnesLocationPalolo Valley, Honolulu, HIDate13 Aug 2012, 09:10 am HSTEquipmentOrion XT6, 25mm eyepiece, iPhone cameraDescription'Cynthiae figuras aemulatur mater amorum' (The mother of love emulates the shapes of Cynthia)-- Galileo Galilei. From Hawaii we did not see an occultation; instead, the Moon passed to the north of Venus. The contrast in phase was evident; the Moon was a slender crescent, while Venus was gibbous. Even without seeing an occultation, the difference in phase proves that Venus is much further away than the Moon! |

We all watched and awaited it's dramatic end. Instead of a huge explosion, it suddenly just began to dissipate, much to our chagrin. Maybe the next one will give us a good show, eh? |
