Star Tours
Venus will be extremely close to the thin crescent moon early in the evening on Monday. Venus has been on the far side of the sun, but it is slowly moving into the evening sky. Our first chance to see it comes on Monday, when it is a fraction of a degree to the left of the moon. Look very low in the west from about 8:00 to 8:15 p.m., and use binoculars if available. Venus slowly becomes easier to see week by week.
