Seven discs of Venus in true relative scale, from a tiny full to a huge thin crescent — the quiet little diagram that ended the Earth-centred universe.
On August 15 2026 Venus reaches greatest eastern elongation, 46 degrees from the Sun and exactly half lit — the one night of the apparition when the geometry guarantees a quarter phase. It is the shape Galileo went looking for in 1610, and finding it ruled out the Ptolemaic system for good. He was so worried about being scooped that he mailed the discovery to Kepler as a scrambled anagram. We drew it as an instrument plate rather than a poster, because the evidence is the whole point.
