If you are up before sunrise and you have mostly clear sky, look at the moon. Then bright and immediately to the left is Venus. Venus is rushing away from the earth.
The morning look at Venus is always looking at a large object becoming more distance and smaller day by day. Tomorrow 12/31/2010 the moon and Venus will be very close. Global warming people say the moon is millions of miles away. In fact it is well under 300,000 miles away.
Venus is closer than the sun. Closer than 93,000,000 miles. The next time Venus is in the evening sky it will be further away than the sun.
Ignore my editorial, look at the beautiful sky before sunrise. Venus may still be visible 29 days from now. The moon and Venus are once again in the same part of the sky. Why? The moon takes 29 days to return to a similar position. Remember in 29 days Venus will continue to flee the earth.
