Details:
The ancient mexican cultures gave the name Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli to the Morning Star. It means The Lord of the Morning House.
On January 9th I saw Venus like evening star for the last time. Today at 13:15 UTC (50 min after inferior conjunction), I saw Venus like the morning star. Venus rose 10 minutes before the sunrise.
I have a complete week of uninterruptible Venus observation at daylight time with telescope. It was incredible!!!
To be continued ...
We will not see Venus with an illumination lower than 0.4% until June 2020.
