A closer examination of a nearly full Venus image taken during totality. The image contains a nearly round disk of Venus, brighter on one side; with green coloration and a dark bluish atmospheric halo around the planet.  This is because Venus was nearly at supperior conjunction - positioned opposite the sun from Earth.
