For my American audience - Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you and your enjoy the blessings of today.
For the whole world Mother Nature is providing a beautiful sky show the next several nights right after it starts to get dark.
The thin waxing crescent Moon will pass by Jupiter, Venus and finally Saturn the next couple of days.
The Moon will start to exhibit Earthshine - the "dark of the Moon" visible due to reflection of sunlight off our planet's clouds and to a lesser extent, oceans. This will be especially beautiful when the Moon is near Venus.
Here is what the sky looked like on November 27, 2019:
