New Year's Crescent


This image taken in Quebec City, Canada, on December 30th shows Venus in its crescent phase. In the days to follow, Venus will grow larger in size, but into a thinner crescent as it sinks lower into the evening sky. Venus is heading towards inferior conjunction, which will take place on January 11th. I found this photo really interesting because Venus looked very much like the Moon, and I was surprised to learn that it was of Venus. I also found this picture to be very pretty and I like how the photo was taken right at Sunset.
