Sky Guy Viewing ALERT - Follow The Moon in the Morning Sky 1-8 to 1-10

Hey Space Placers!

Watch the motion of the Moon in the sky in the hour before dawn Tues-Thurs as the stars of summer form the backdrop.

Thursday morning will be the highlight as the very slim crescent Moon joins bright Venus low in the southeast sky. This sky show is worth seeing as it will be the last of the Moon-Venus conjunctions until much later in the year as Venus will soon be gone from view. It won't be until May that we see the "Evening Star" in the sky.
