Default Venus as a morning appearance on the eclipse

http://earthsky.org/tonight/moon-ven...rise-august-18

How wonderful it is to see the inner planet travel behind the Sun along with the stars Pollox and Castor in the same graphic as these stars have moved to the right of the Sun from their positions to the left of the Sun in May due to the orbital motion of the Earth -

Observers today have the unique privilege of looking inwards to the solar system rather than just a skywards event so no wonder it represents an awe inspiring moment, even for the coldest of hearts -

The eclipse event is what it feels like to work each and every day with observations from so many sides of astronomy other than just magnification and identification.

Default Venus as a morning appearance on the eclipse

As predicted, the eclipse event suspends the limitations on observers as Venus shows up to the right of the Sun on this particular eclipse in the afternoon -

I haven't seen any images of Mercury to the left of the Sun but I am sure they will show up shortly

The event is overwhelming so it would take a while for the mind to deal with the experience but such are all inspirational (spiritual) experiences. The normally cold heart will discover they have traded this type of astronomy where you can look at the inner solar system directly rather than obliquely (twilight/dawn) for a brief moment for meaningless voodoo so there is always a chance for them to work to turn things around.

Moving on with the dawn.
