Where's the moon? Waxing crescent

Many photos of Sunday evening's extremely thin and lovely young moon. A few glimpsed it near Mercury and Saturn, too. Watch for the waxing crescent in the evenings ahead.

Tonight … Watch for the moon and Saturn

The moon and Saturn are fairly easy to spot Monday evening, if you have a clear view to the west after sunset.

Sunday evening's waxing crescent moon from Nuno Lopes in Barreiro, Portugal. More photos here. On Monday evening, you should be able to see Saturn near the moon.

Zimbabwe sunset and young moon

Following several days of cloud, rain and uncertainty, the skies suddenly cleared to reveal the sun and moon setting on what was expected to be the end of an era in Zimbabwe. Story and photos by Peter Lowenstein.
