Explanation:
Made with a telescope shaded from bright sunlight by an umbrella,
on April 5 a
well-planned
video
captured a crescent Venus
shining in clear daytime skies
from Shoreline, Washington, USA at 11:57AM Pacific Time.
It also caught the
International Space Station
in this single
video
frame.
In close conjunction with the bright planet,
the faint outline of the orbital outpost seen at a range
of about 400 kilometers appears to be
similar in size to the slender planetary crescent.
Of course the ISS is much smaller than Venus.
Now
appearing
as planet Earth's brilliant morning star and
climbing above the eastern horizon in predawn skies,
inner planet Venus was nearly 45 million kilometers from Shoreline.
