Venus and the one-day old crescent moon in the evening sky on 19 March, as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico.

Nowruz is today! Happy New Year!

One of the youngest visible moons of the year appears alongside Venus tonight — here's how to see it

Look west after sunset on March 19 to try spotting a razor-thin crescent moon less than 24 hours old with brilliant Venus lighting the way.

Crescent moon - 22 February. Taken just after sunset, so the sky is not yet black.

The young crescent moon occulted Mercury today...as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico.

First photo is a telephoto shot of the moon only a minute after it uncovered our innermost planet. This was taken in bright twilight as a wind and dust storm was easing up.

Second photo is a wider angle shot ten minutes later that includes Venus in the bottom third of the frame. The evening twilight sky colors are pallid because of the dust storm clouds billowing a mile below me on the floor of the Tularosa basin.
