Mars, Venus our moon and Earth, as seen in New Mexico by Peter Rodney Breaux, January 29, 2017. Venus is the bright one above the moon; Mars is fainter, reddish and above Venus.
Genevieve Martin in San Antonio, Texas caught the January 29, 2017 moon and Venus on her evening walk.
Here are Venus and Mars seen from Earth’s Southern Hemisphere on January 29, 2017. Notice that their orientation to the horizon is different from what we see in this hemisphere. Helio C. Vital, who captured this photo, wrote: “This photo shows the planets Venus and Mars separated by only 5.5° in the evening sky over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Venus was 5.6 magnitudes (or almost 200 times) brighter than Mars.”
If you looked at Venus through a telescope now, here’s what you’d see. The planet will soon pass between in the Earth and sun, and it’s showing a waning crescent phase toward Earth. January 29, 2017 photo by Alex Ustick. “Venus at -4.6 magnitude tonight. Brightness reduced to show detail.”
Moon and Venus on January 29, 2017 from Chintan Gadani in Ahmedabad, India.
This photo resonated with the weekend’s events. On a plaque mounted on this statue, it says: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” Waxing crescent moon partly shadowed by clouds, with Statue of Liberty below, as captured on January 29, 2017 by Gowrishankar Lakshminarayanan.
Kelly Thomas in Hetch Hetchy, California caught the very young moon on January 28, 2017.
By the way, Venus and Mars aren’t the only planets in the west after sunset. Uranus is there, too, invisible to the eye alone. Chirag Upreti in Rajastan, India caught it on January 27. You’ll see it in the inset at right. He wrote: “In this image you can see Venus shine through the ‘Babul’ tree in local language taxonomic synonym Acacia nilotica, a native of this dry and semiarid climate.”
