Photo Of The Day: Venus And Jupiter At Sunset

This week, millions looked to the sky at sunset (or sunrise, depending on your location) to see the Transit of Venus. This now once-in-a-lifetime event – the last time Venus was visible crossing the sun's path was 2004 – won't happen again until 2117. Today's Photo of the Day is from a more frequent event: sunset. Taken by Flickr user woofboy111 in Deltona, Florida, in November 2008, the planets Venus and Jupiter appear as specks over the setting sun. Even if you missed Venus' voyage this week, you can still see several other planets visible after dusk this month.

We'd love to see your favorite sky photos in the Gadling Flickr pool to be featured as a future Photo of the Day.
