A Daylight Eclipse of Venus
Just two days ago, the Moon passed in front of Venus, an event called an occultation, visible during daylight. This image, taken from Switzerland before sunset, shows the crescent Moon about to eclipse Venus. Moments after this photo, the Moon covered Venus completely.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.

In tropical astrology, 20 JUN 2007 falls under Gemini (♊). The sign's window runs from 05-21 through 06-20. Gemini is named for the twin stars Castor and Pollux, both bright enough to spot without a telescope. The Sun was crossing this region of the sky on 20 JUN 2007.
