Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Huh? It's just a picture taken via time lapse of the shadow of a camera and tripod on a board cast by Venus as it was that bright. If you saw something different then perhaps your computer is hacked. As for astronomy, that is something that every astrologer should learn something about.
