On the evening of Thursday, Sept. 9, the slim crescent moon cozied up to the dazzling planet. And on Friday, Sept. 10, you can catch the pair again. Face west-southwest and look just above the horizon after sunset. The moon will shine up and to the left of Venus. But don't wait too long to look.

Incremental Change by the Light of the Moon | JewishBoston
At its fullest, our moon is an astonishing sight. No matter which way I gaze across the deep darkness of the heavens, our moon glimmers, casting its glow and illuminating shadows on the burnt orange cliffs of Kodachrome Basin State Park.
