Thanks to a poorly chosen font and some good natured fun, the The International Astronomical Union has officially named Venus' quasi-moon 2002VE as 'Zoozve'.

Thanks to Kovi at @funfactscience for sharing!

This morning's moon setting to the west. Kind of a tough shot since the moon-sky contrast was steadily decreasing as the day arrived. Canon R5, 700mm, f16, 1/1000 sec, ISO 400, lightly cropped.

My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of .

Taken as the set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.

It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar
