Early-bird skywatchers graced with clear weather tomorrow morning (March 31) will get a celestial treat before sunrise, when Venus and the moon appear together in the east-southeast sky.
Venus will be low on the horizon, a brilliant “morning star,” with a lovely waning crescent moon hovering less than 5 degrees (about half the width of a human fist) above the planet and to its left. The moon will be just 9 percent illuminated, since it is less than three days before its new phase. [Moon Phases Explained]
While not an exceptionally close conjunction, the cosmic event should not disappoint skywatchers.Venus and the moon are the two brightest luminaries of the night sky, and the pair should make for a striking sight in the dawn twilight.
