Shadow of Venus

No, it's not the title of a goddess-possessed serial killer novel; it's the real thang. According to SpaceWeather.com, the planet Venus is at its closest and brightest during the first weeks of December this year. If you can find an area with little to no artificial light (yeah, good luck), you can actually see a faint shadow cast by the planet's light.

If you can't find that kind of place, you can check out these pictures of a British photographer who did.
