Maximum elongation, or the angular distance between the Sun and Venus,
is around 45 degrees and occurred last month. Currently, Venus is
slightly past maximum elongation at around 41 degrees. Over the next
month, you will see Venus continue to grow closer to the Sun in the
evening twilight. - Canopus56

P.S. - Here's a 90 day empheris listing of the Sun-Earth-Venus angle:

Very cool page, Sam. I always wondered what the appendices in my
Peterson's Sky Guide would look like, if animated. - Canopus56

Maximum elongation was a few weeks ago (early June),
consistent with Venus being a fat crescent now. We're
on the way to inferior conjunction.

This information is available in (among other places)
Sky & Telescope, and the RASC Observer's Handbook.

Non sequitur. Your facts are uncoordinated.

Is that important for your personality and temperment right now?
