As Venus' orbit around the Sun brings it closer to Earth, stargazers will be privy to a spectacular view of the planet.
"Venus only appears fuller when it’s on the far side of the Sun, and much farther from Earth," explains Nasa’s Preston Dyches.
The clouds reflect roughly 70 per cent of the sunlight that reaches Venus - making the planet all the more visible.
"As it comes closer to us, its phase becomes a crescent, but the planet also looks much larger in the sky.
VENUS, the so-called planet of love, is set to shine its brightest all year tomorrow - coincidentally, on Valentine's Day.
