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.
