Description:
The planet continues to approach the Earth and reduce its percentage of light, but the angular distance from the Sun decreases rapidly and its period of evening observability is almost over. Venus is therefore still observable immediately after sunset, westward, low on the horizon and close to the star Regulus (alpha of the constellation of Leo) and Mars. At the time of the capture, the turbulence was very high also due to the fact that the planet was very close to the local horizon.
