VENUS PASSES INTO THE EVENING SKY

This Friday, March 26th, the planet Venus passes behind the Sun as seen from Earth. This also marks the point that Venus passes from the morning sky back into the evening sky. While it’ll take a few weeks, begin looking for the ‘evening star’, low in the WNW at the end of April or early May.

While we can’t see this from Earth, you can watch Venus pass behind the Sun through the eyes of the SOHO spacecraft at:
