Title

Venus- still not at dichotomy.

About this image

Two drawings I made of Venus on Sunday 4th June. A nice example of the Schroter effect- the thick Cytherean atmosphere scatters the sunlight, as a result the observed phase of Venus is always these than the theoretical one. The theoretical phase was 50.1%, but in IL it was 45% and in the W#15 it was 48%.
