"The way the moon covers Venus is similar to an eclipse, but the visual effect is much worse. During an eclipse, the moon blocks the sun a little and then moves away a little. When the eclipse occurred, Venus completely disappeared in a short time and soon appeared again. " Xiu Mo Lifeng, director of Tianjin Astronomical Society and expert in astronomical science, said. Venus, a close neighbor of the earth, was called "Taibai" in ancient China. When it appears in the morning, people call it "morning star" or "morning star"; When it appears at dusk, people call it "Twilight Star" or "Haitz Peros".
Usually, Venus is the brightest object in the whole sky, second only to the sun and the moon, with a maximum brightness of -4.9. Therefore, in the "hidden star" sky, the Venus eclipse is very ornamental. When the moon passes in a straight line between the earth and Venus, it will pass in front of Venus. Because the apparent diameter of the moon is much larger than that of Venus, it will completely block Venus when it passes through Venus. When people look up at the night sky, Venus, the brightest celestial body in the night sky, snuggles up to the moon. However, Venus is not a rare astronomical phenomenon, but this time you can see that Venus and the moon are combined at a very close angle. The principle of Venus eclipse is similar to that of solar eclipse, but the visual effect is much worse. When the eclipse occurs, Venus will disappear and appear in a short time.
"Venus combined with the moon" means that Venus and the moon just run to the same longitude, and the distance between them is the closest. Venus and the moon are staged together. A rare astronomical phenomenon: "the moon covers Venus" during the day and "Venus meets the moon" at night.
