Crescent Moon Shines near Venus
December 4, 2024 @ 12:00 am
As the sky is darkening after sunset on Wednesday, December 4, look low in the western sky to see the pretty, waxing crescent moon shining several finger widths below (or several degrees to the celestial south of) the brilliant planet Venus. The pair will share the view in binoculars and will make a pretty photo until they drop into the trees around 6:30 p.m. local time.
