Venus just passed by Saturn low in the morning sky as it slowly gains ground
on the Sun heading for its superior conjunction later this year. Here
we see the crescent Moon join Venus low in twilight, so I captured them with
a telephoto lens to try to record the Earthshine on the unlit portion of the
Moon. In their current circumstances, we see Venus below the ecliptic
almost ready to briefly enter the constellation Cetus, while the Moon is just
to the north the ecliptic.
