Crescent Moon and Venus

The crescent moon and Venus will appear together as a pair low in the southwestern sky on Sunday night. The two are close enough to draw an extra gaze from those unaware of the astronomical meeting. The two celestial objects are moving through the zodiacal constellation Sagittarius, the southernmost zodiacal constellation.

The two are a pretty sight in this first night of Standard time. You’ll see them before the dinner hour.

The moon spends the rest of the coming week going through the zodiacal constellations Capricornus and then onto Aquarius.

The better lit crescent moon saddles up along side the planets Saturn on Wednesday night and Jupiter on Thursday night.
