Explanation:
Yesterday, early morning risers around planet Earth were treated
to a waning Moon low in the east as the sky grew
bright before dawn.
From the Island of Ortigia, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy this
simple snapshot found the slender sunlit crescent
just before sunrise.
Never wandering far from the Sun in Earth's sky, inner planets Venus
and Mercury shared the calm seaside view.
Also in the frame,
right of the line-up of Luna and planets, is bright
star Spica, alpha star of the constellation Virgo and one of the 20
brightest stars
in Earth's night.
Tomorrow the Moon will
be
New.
The dark lunar disk means mostly dark nights for planet Earth in
the coming week and a good chance to watch the annual
Leonid
Meteor Shower.
Today watch:
