The “old Moon” rests “in the arms” of a new, grinning, crescent Moon with earthshine illuminating the portion of the Moon that is shadowed from direct sunlight. Above and to the left, Venus adds to the beauty of the scene like a supportive sibling, the sister of Moon and Earth. Indeed, they are all brothers and sisters in the same solar family.
Look for them again tonight in the west after sunset, still a beautiful pair with the Moon higher in the sky than Venus.
