NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Venus Falls Out of the Evening Sky” is copyrighted by Joe Orman. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

See it on NASA's site
COSMIC MESSAGE

Venus is currently falling out of the evening sky. This means it is moving closer to the sun from our perspective, making it harder to see after sunset. Tomorrow, we will explore the water vapor channel. This channel is used in satellite imagery to track water vapor in Earth's atmosphere, providing insights into weather patterns.
