The phases of Venus (similar to phases of Moon) are
caused by Venus orbiting around the Sun.
The situation is figured by the following animation. On
the left side there are positions of planets
(lookdown to inner planets from distance of 10AU)
simulated by Distant Suns software, on the right side
there are my photos taken by web camera through my
telescopes.
To view the animation properly, QuickTime Software
must be installed on your computer.
The animation can be downloaded here, too.
For best viewing I recommend to use arrow controls on the
bottom right side.
For those, who haven't a telescope here is a photo of
Venus after sunset in the city (taken by web cam with
original objective):
For those, who are interested how the Venus is visible in
telescope in real time observing, here are 2
videosequences with Venus.
Air currents and clouds are visible on the videos. The
movement of Venus is caused by Earth's rotation.
