If you're looking at the nightsky last Sunday, May 16,2010... you probably saw an amazing sight over the horizon. The planet Venus is visible on top of the Moon over the country. The rare occurrence is called the Venus planetary occultation by the thin crescent Moon.
Venus is gradually getting nearer to the Earth. This week it will be 1.4 astronomical units distant, which is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun (about 93 million miles). (anu daw ulit?hehe)
