Two Crescents - Saturday February 28
On Saturday evening, you can see something special, two crescents close together. Granted, you can't see Venus's crescent without a small telescope at the moment, but you can gaze at bright Venus and the crescent Moon and imagine what it would be like.
Venus is rapidly closing in on the horizon, and you only have a couple of weeks before Venus is lost in the twilight. On Saturday the best time to look is between half and hour and an hour after Sunset.
