Damn, Venus is so bright tonight

To the left is the moon, on the right is Venus with the same luminosity if you weren't seeing it through my phone camera. It's probably the brightest I've seen in a year. Taken in Colorado so I don't know how your local orientation will differ.
Fuck I love astronomy
I'm a naturalist and natural scientist because it's the most real thing. Astronomy is the most real thing of the real things.
Indeed, we need look no further than the skies and our surroundings for all the beauty we could ever hope to desire, and their study intensifies this further still.
