Venus in daylight

I show the venus in day light at 8:30am and it is still visble with naked eye. It might be visible other day also, but today it is very close to moon and can be easilty located at the right edge of the moon.

Thanks for the reminder. Very nice view. I have had a look with naked eye and through binoculars. It is very easy to spot being just less than 2 degrees from the Moon.

I saw this today also with named eye and looks amazing that we can see planet in the full day light. Just draw a line from centre of moon to 15-20 deg left and you will see a bright spot.

That's nice photo.

I wanted to take photo today but forgot to take it with me. It was tough to find today as moon is close to the sun not visible.
