This week’s Starwatch is a challenge but a beautiful reward awaits for anyone who succeeds. The question is: how early in the evening can we find Venus?
On Monday, the bright planet has a close encounter with a young crescent moon. The moon will be just over three days old with about 14% of its visible surface illuminated. Unfortunately for UK observers, the two make their closest approach during daylight, passing within a moon’s width of one another around lunchtime.
