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 |

A second photo from last night's conjunction - over an hour after sunset, as clouds started to move back in over us. The photo is a 10 sec exposure with my Canon A40 on a tripod, 3x zoom. The clouds show up because of the local street lights and the long exposure. While the crescent moon is overexposed, the earthshine on the moon show up nicely in this photo.
The streak of lights on the right is an aircraft that moved in during the exposure. bob |
