This morning’s moon and Venus

This morning’s moon and Venus

Release Date: Apr 25, 2014

The moon and Venus are the second- and third-brightest objects in Earth’s sky, after the sun. You’ll see them together now in the east before dawn.

Jacob Baker created this cool composite image of the moon and Venus rising in the east this morning, Friday, April 25, 2014.  He said it took him about three hours to complete.

The waning crescent moon is now sweeping past the sky’s brightest starlike object – the planet Venus – n the eastern predawn sky. They were closest on Friday morning – April 25, 2014 – but you might catch the moon and Venus on Saturday, too.
