Very good! :-)

Great video.  The fact that Venus shows a crescent phase was partly proof to early astronomers that the earth revolves around the sun. It was cool to see it on the video here.

thanks! and thanks for pointing that out -- yes, it was one of galileo's five observations that got him in trouble with the church. it's also the strongest observation of his for disproving geocentric models of the solar system.
