Turn your eyes to the western sky at sunset on Feb. 19 to catch a delicate sight, as the razor-thin form of the two-day-old crescent moon sidles up to the gas giant Saturn in the evening sky.
The 10%-lit waxing crescent moon will be easy to miss as it hangs low on the western horizon at sundown, with Saturn appearing as a bright "evening star" less than 5 degrees — roughly the width of your three middle fingers held at arm's length — to the lower left of Earth's natural satellite.
