Scientific paper

All brightness, but no detail. Overall this is widely considered to be the most reliable estimate the visual observer can ever give of the telescopic appearance of Venus; as John Herschel remarked, we notice in it only '...a uniform brightness, in which sometimes we may indeed fancy, or perhaps more than fancy, brighter or obscurer portions.' To a degree this is true, but it fails uniquely to take into account hazy intricacies that become visible when the contrast between planet and sky is subdued.
