This certainly is an unusual coincidence for the crescent moon to be right there in the days when they are going to be closest together, said Alan MacRobert, senior editor of Sky and Telescope magazine. The moon is the brightest, closest and smallest of the three and is 252,000 miles away.

The view facing west-southwest 1 hour after sunset. The evening skyâs lone naked-eye planet is Saturn, but itâs getting tougher to see. Even in twilight itâs only a few degrees above the west-southwest horizon and sets two hours after the Sun. By contrast, the morning sky is crowded with planets. Brightest of them all, and first up, is Venus which gleams at magnitude â4.4 and rises around 3:40 a.m., local daylight time.
