Explanation:
Yesterday, the
Moon
was New.
But on January 9, early morning risers around planet Earth were treated
to the sight of an old Moon, low in the east as the sky grew
bright before
dawn.
Above the city of Saarburg in
Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany,
this simple snapshot found the waning Moon's
sunlit crescent
just before sunrise.
But also never wandering far from the Sun
in
Earth's sky,
inner planets Venus
and Mercury shared the
cold morning
skyview.
In the foreground are the historic city's tower and castle
with ruins from the 10th century.
