Old Moon Shines with Venus and Saturn (pre-dawn)
On Thursday morning, April 24, early risers can look low in the eastern sky
for the pretty sight of the waning crescent moon shining a fist's diameter to the right (or 10 degrees to the celestial west) of brilliant Venus. Much fainter Saturn will also shine a few degrees below (southeast of) Venus. Just before sunrise, Mercury will appear just above the horizon to Venus' lower left. The moon and Venus, which will clear the rooftops around 5:15 a.m. local time, will make a lovely photo opportunity. Faint Neptune will not be visible.
