I was wondering.
If Venus reflects 70 percent of the sunlight that hits it. If I was in spaceship on approach to that planet could I look at it with the naked eye out the window and not get blinded? Would I have to at least use sunglasses? I am wondering to how much brightness reduction is going on when processing the images before they are release to public or analized. thanks |

Jupiter with brighter Venus below it. I took this photo one hour after sunset here on the east coast of the United States.
The Moon joins the picture Sunday evening and pulls up alongside on Monday. The weather is forecast to be raining here in the NYC area Sunday evening and mostly cloudy on Monday evening, so this may be the best shot of the series for me. This was a 10 second exposure with my Canon A40 on a tripod. The long exposure brought out the wave clouds, barely visible to the unaided eye and made the sky look bright. bob |
