The unification of the Planet Venus and the crescent moon is not only a dazzling sky watchers, it also makes a spectacular view of the President of the United States, Barack Obama stunned.

A photo taken by White House photographer, Pete Souza shows a picture of Obama was standing staring at the sky, Tuesday, April 24, 2012 local time at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado. In the photo, Obama's body like a silhouette, admiring the Venus and the Moon who blends light above his head, its dusk.

At that time, Venus is shining bright combined with crescent-shaped bright smile. "President Obama stopped to see the Moon and Venus, before entering the Marine One aircraft in Boulder, Colorado, 24 April 2012," the photo caption contained in the White House website, as published by Space.com, Friday, April 27, 2012.

Venus, the planet which bears the name of the Goddess of Love as bright as a star now shines in the night sky. Not difficult to see him, look into the bright sky 45 minutes after sunset. Venus will be seen clearly in the night sky until 17 May.

Then, at 5-6 or June 2012, depending on the location where it is visible from Earth, Venus will be visible across the Sun. In the language of astronomers, it is called a transit.

The last time Venus across the Sun was in 2004. But the transit in 2012 was very special: the last that can be witnessed people living today. Therefore, the opportunity to see the phenomenon of new transit will arrive in 2117. More than 100 years.

Unnerve

Although it has been explained many times, many people who claim to confusion about the appearance of Venus. Hayden Planetarium, New York, United States flooded the question, "I saw a large white star and shine, after sunset. What is it Venus, or perhaps a spaceship."

Meanwhile, Air Canada airline near misses. Because, co-pilot who had just woke up thinking Venus is shining that night as a cargo plane belonging to the United States.

Since the effects of inertia - less vigilant when you wake up -, co-pilot thought the plane would collide with each other and try to avoid it. He then lowered the plane's body. The plane plummeted about 120 meters to the waters of the Atlantic. Passengers not wearing seat belts came out of his chair.
