Explanation:
Wednesday, the Moon and Venus rose together in early morning skies.
Even through clouds, both show off a lovely crescent in this
well-composed skyscape
from Rutherford College, North Carolina, in the eastern US.
Farther west, North American skygazers could also witness
the Moon
passing in front
of Venus.
The bright planet disappeared behind the Moon's sunlit crescent
and reappeared along its darkened limb as morning
twilight gave way to
daylight hours.
Of course the dimmer lunar crescent was waning, approaching
today's New Moon phase.
Beginning a stint as the brilliant
Morning Star, Venus'
crescent is
waxing though, and will grow thicker in the coming months as
Venus rises higher
in morning skies.
