View to the South: #Orion and #Sirius placed left of the center of the image. Just above the horizon (on the right), #Venus is setting (light shifted to reddish). The picture clearly illustrates the impact that light sources such as floodlight systems have on the experience of the night sky.
"Scientists have long assumed that Venus’s atmosphere contains a significant amount of atomic oxygen. New observations now provide direct evidence for its existence, enabling new science."
Moon and Venus this morning. Venus is visible in the lower part of the frame, just left of center. If you're looking at this on a phone you might have to zoom in a bit to see it, but it's there

#Éphémérides astronomiques pour novembre 2023 🪐 🔭 : ce mois ci #Jupiter est passe l'opposition c'est à dire qu'elle se trouvera à l'opposé du Soleil. C'est l'"étoile" la plus lumineuse du ciel qui sera visible durant la soirée. Cette planète possède 4 gros satellites visibles avec une petite lunette (image). Aussi #Saturne est visible le soir avec ses annaux visibles dans un petit télescope. #Vénus sera observable le matin.
Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹
#Aphrodite-Venus with her iconic top-bow hairstyle as she puts on an anklet or a sandal. The gold of the jewellery and red of her lips really stands out against her dark skin.

T-shirt at 7am. It will chill shortly, as the rising sun sucks the heat from the earth. It sure is calm on the ocean. Something swam by, perhaps an otter, sometimes a seal, depending on the tides.
I can get started on some work soon. I just bathed Maya again, actually, I gave her the shower wand to walk under while we shampooed her fur.
It's too warm inside. I started a wood fire before I realized how warm it was.
#PPOD: The 30km-wide crater Adivar on Venus was imaged in synthetic aperture radar by NASA's Magellan spacecraft (1989–1994). To make this version, Jason Major inverted the black-and-white radar image, used noise reduction, and colored it to a "Venus" palette (based on Venera images.) Credit: NASA / Magellan images / J.

A humourous oil painting of the love of #Mars and #Venus that was created when the artist was only 15 or 16 years old.
Mars ist struck by an arrow in his chest but it is a love arrow 😘
