Venus in the Sky
During the spring months of 2004, Venus was visible in the evening sky as a very bright object, above the western horizon. Many spectacular photos were obtained, some carefully composed with selected foreground objects and providing impressive views.
Most of this time, Venus was located near planets Mars and Saturn in the sky and once a month the Moon also passed by. Some photos therefore also show Venus together with one or more of these objects.
On this page, some of these photos are displayed. An overview of the VT-2004 Photo Archive is available and a number of these photos have been elected "VT 2004 Photo of the Day" .
All photos on this page may be downloaded and used, provided the photographers (authors) and the VT-2004 programme are indicated as source.
