Explanation:
The crescent Moon passed nearly in front of Venus last week.
The close conjunction of the
night sky's
two brightest objects created a striking pose for many
viewing the evening sky just after sunset.
Such a pose, shown above, was captured between clouds over
Corona Del Mar Beach in
California,
USA.
To be precise, the Moon
appeared to pass only about three degrees from
Venus
on February 23.
A similar
conjunction will occur later this month,
on March 24, when
Venus appears near its furthest from the
Sun while the
Moon passes only about 2 degrees away.
