Moon and Venus

For those in the UK, there is about 2 hours left, but over in the USA look west after the sun goes down and you'll see the Moon creeping closer and closer to Venus. Here in Scotland it looked like this at 10.40pm

    Wonderful picture, thanks Guido.  I've already reminded folks of my previous post about this event and that it's the 19th so they should reap the benefits of the pairing of the crescent moon with bright Venus, happening a few hours after sunset, continuing till after midnight here.  I'm glad you were on top of this, it's great to see how it looked in your part of the world!  Ah the big sky of Scotland! We still have a few hours to go. Watch again in 10 days.  xoxo CATHY

    My oh my...so pretty.  It's very overcast here today, so I doubt I'll be able to see it.  The sunset here tonight is 8:43pm about 5 hours from now.   GREAT PICTURE !!  Linda in cloudy western Washington

    I took pics from California... when my son comes home, he can help me figure out his camera, maybe I can post what I got.  Really cool that we can all see it so well.

    Morning Guido,  I must have heard you prompting me last night just as I was going to bed I remembered and glanced out the window..by then I had taken of the specs !! so had to go and retrieve them and put them on again !! It was worth the trouble as it was a lovely sight..just glanced at your picture taken time and that was about the time I was looking at it down here in Wiltshire.  Sybilsybil45
