APOD 3.7


Venus is now visible at twilight. It is the predominating star in our night sky. It is a celestial body that has many observers interested. However there are many clouds that cover the reflective light off venus making it hard to observe.  The data was recorded through near-ultraviolet, green, and near-infrared filters (left), and red, green, and blue filters while Venus stood high above the western horizon just before sunset. These colors have been taken by cameras with special color filters.
