那不是夕阳西下，年轻的新月在大教堂塔楼后摆姿势。这是月牙期的金星。1月1日，在匈牙利的Veszprem，用照相机和长焦镜头拍摄到的这一系列照片显示，它距离地球约4000万公里，大约有2%的阳光照射。明亮的天体灯塔在黄昏的微光中渐渐衰弱，随着2022年的开始，昏星的日子即将结束。但它的表观尺寸也越来越大，在望远镜的视野中，它变成了一个越来越薄的新月。这颗内行星将在1月9日位于地球和太阳之间，通常在太阳的眩光中看不见。新月金星很快就会再次出现。月中在东方升起的，就在太阳升起之前，作为灿烂的晨星。状态更新：部署詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜

That's not a young crescent Moon posing behind cathedral towers after sunset. It's Venus in a crescent phase. About 40 million kilometers away and about 2 percent illuminated by sunlight, it was captured with camera and telephoto lens in this series of exposures as it set in western skies on January 1 from Veszprem, Hungary. The bright celestial beacon was languishing in the evening twilight, its days as the Evening Star coming to a close as 2022 began. But it was also growing larger in apparent size and becoming an ever thinner crescent in telescopic views. Heading toward a (non-judgemental) inferior conjunction, the inner planet will be positioned between Earth and Sun on January 9 and generally lost from view in the solar glare. A crescent Venus will soon reappear though. Rising in the east by mid-month just before the Sun as the brilliant Morning Star. Status Updates: Deploying the James Webb Space Telescope
