Event created by Stu
At around 7am, the waning crescent Moon will be at 14 degrees above the horizon and between Venus and Jupiter.
Given some clear skies, this should make quite a spectacle. The 25 day old moon will be 17.8% illuminated, and about 4 degrees from Jupiter and 4.5 degrees from Venus. Well worth a look in binos or a widefield photo opportunity.
