It’s been a relatively quiet start to 2020 as far as skywatching goes. Sure, we’ve had some full Moons and a few other treats here and there, but nothing particularly awesome… until tonight, that is. Thursday evening will give residents of the Northern Hemisphere a chance to spot a lovely sight in the sky: Venus shining brightly alongside a crescent moon.
Venus, which is often easily spotted thanks to its bold glow, will sit near the Moon in the southwest sky. If you’re fortunate to have clear skies overhead, you’ll have a great chance at spotting the pair without the help of a telescope or even binoculars.
