@ffortress18

The moon looks like that, because the sun is (almost directly) behind it. Venus itself is crescent-shaped at times when it starts to "overtake" the earth, but you need a telescope to see it as a crescent.

[ffortress18]

@rodsky71 ohhh.so it looks round when you look at it with the naked eye?

[20fox10]

@rodsky71 Since when does the moon crescents light on it's bottom? Isn't it suppose to be on the sides?

[rodsky71]

@20fox10 because the latitude of Cebu City is at 11 degrees from the equator, and thus we get to see the the Cheshire or Wet Crescent more often than people in temperate countries do

[josquine]

@ffortress18 we dont know but its the venus for sure.

[XCrossXStitchX]

[jekskie]

sir dapat pinatagal mo pa ung video mo... lalabas pa ung venus sa baba ng cresent ng buwan.... kita kita un sir knina... mga 30-45mins yata un nung lumabas maganda kasi view d2 sa batangas kita kita kaso ndi na namin naisipan kuhanan ng video.. sayang nga!

[rodsky71]

@jekskie

Nope. By the time "second contact" or "egress" of Venus occurs, both the Moon and Venus would have been below the horizon (or behind Cebu's mountains, in my case) already, so it would have been impossible for me to take a video, unless I was in a high-altitude aircraft or a spacecraft in orbit around the earth and passing over the Philippines at exactly 8:22PM Philippine Standard Time. :)

[juniorleonila]

lol at "first contact"

i recorded a video of this also..check it out on my channel

[rodsky71]

@juniorleonila

Yes, "First Contact" refers to the moment when the planet venus "touches" the edge of the lunar disc...a few seconds later, it will disappear behind the moon.

"Second contact", or "Egress" or the emerging of Venus from the moon (bottom part) occured at 8:22PM.

[juniorleonila]

@rodsky71 i usually hear/read those words when me and my friends talk about aliens..

[tinyTube]
