"Venus Disguised as the Moon!"
Images of Venus and the Moon, which I placed side by side. The Moon was in the east, just beginning the evening, while Venus was in the west, about to set.
The images were taken with the same focal length, so the sizes are in true proportion.
Venus: 5.5% illuminated, angular size of 56 arcseconds, and a distance of 44.4 million kilometers.
The Moon: Nearly full, 94% illuminated, angular size of 31 arcminutes (about 30 times the size of Venus), and a distance of approximately 400,000 km—about one-hundredth of Venus' distance.
