Venus now appears as Earth’s brilliant morning star, standing in a line-up of planets above the southeastern horizon before dawn. For most, the silvery celestial beacon rose predawn in a close pairing with an old crescent Moon on Monday, December 7. But also widely seen from locations in North and Central America, the lunar crescent actually occulted or passed in front of Venus during Monday’s daylight hours. This time series follows the daytime approach of Moon and morning star in clear blue skies from Phoenix, Arizona. The progression of nine sharp telescopic snapshots, made between 9:30am and 9:35am local time, runs from lower left to upper right, when Venus winked out behind the bright lunar limb.

🌌 金星（Venus）現在作為地球（Earth）耀眼的晨星，在黎明前的東南地平線上與其他行星一同晃爍。對大部分人來說，這顆銀色的天體在12月7日的凌晨與一彎舊月亮（crescent Moon）近距離相伴而升起。然而，月亮的彎曲其實在星期一的日間時間裡，從北美和中美的多個地點被觀察到，月亮實際上遮住（occulted）了金星。這段時序系列從亞利桑那州的菲尼克斯（Phoenix, Arizona）捕捉了月亮和晨星在清澈藍天下的逐步接近。這九張清晰的望遠鏡快照拍攝於當地時間上午9:30至9:35，從左下方呈上右方排列，直到金星在明亮的月亮邊緣中消失。
