On a Moonlit Night

This was the view out my bedroom window on Friday night. Unfortunately the pictures don't quite do it justice but I thought it was a spectacular site!

For those of you who are curious, you're seeing the waxing crescent moon very near Venus in the early dusk sky. This falls within a few days of the brightest Venus can get as viewed from Earth.

Unfortunately it's difficult to get a good night picture with the camera I have but you get the idea!

So this weekend just after sunset, take a moment to go outside and enjoy the show!
