SKY GUY VIEWING ALERT!!!! MOON AND VENUS 10/9/21

 Hey Space Placers!

The Moon and Venus September 9, 2021

Greg Redfern

Tonight after sunset there will be a gorgeous pairing of bright Venus and the Waxing Crescent Moon in the SW sky.

It will look similar to last month's pairing.

Binoculars will help with your view and show the Moon's Earthshine. Read about how the brightness of Earthshine has declined.

Be sure to take some pics! 

Also, when it is dark, the Milky Way, Saturn and Jupiter will be visible from the SW to S.

ENJOY!
