I went to read the image description and still don't understand what I'm looking at. Is this beautiful bronze and blue orb Venus in front of the sun? If so, what's the black spot? Or, is the black spot Venus and the large bronze thing the Sun? I'm limited like that, sorry

If OP wasn't a jerk and had linked the source you would have been able to find out: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250316.html

The big thing is the sun, the black spot is Venus.

Lol make it full screen to really appreciate the black spot on venus that looks way too much like a smudge on your screen to not do the finger check🤣

Fit to the height of my screen (zoomed in portrait orientation), it's about the same size as my circular front camera which was briefly confusing.
