    Examining the Phases of Venus

    I'm new to the astronomy. I have a 5 inch Newtonian telescope. I was looking at Venus last night. It looks like a bright spot in my eye piece. I would like to see some details. Detail like, "at times some cloud banding visible." How do I see that?

    162082 (1998 HL1), an asteroid passing through Aries passes by earth again in October 2140. I won't get to see it then. It is a large asteroid. It can still be seen for a couple more days.
