Image Details:

Venus and the Moon
The comparison of the apparent diameters of Venus and the Moon was recorded on December 7, 2021. At that time, it took about 46 Venus to be arranged on the diameter of the Moon. Yesterday (January 4) I recorded the latest comparison of the apparent diameter of Venus and the Moon. Venus has almost reached the maximum observable diameter (1'02"). At this time, only about 32 Venus can be arranged on the diameter of the Moon. So through binoculars we can easily see the small but obvious crescent Venus! It's so beautiful!
The video is attached with the small crescent Venus sinking. The link is as follows: https://youtu.be/6VMDVsWNNEg
