    Crescent Moon Crosses Venus (pre-dawn)

    After another 48 hours of eastward orbital motion, the crescent moon will move to shine off to the upper right (or celestial west) of brilliant Venus in the eastern sky on Saturday morning, June 21. The pair will make a lovely photo opportunity from the time Venus rises, at about 3 a.m. local time, until the brightening sky hides them. The following morning, the moon will shine to Venus' upper left and a little closer to the planet.
