Wednesday morning is a busy one for the moon, which is scheduled to meet up with the giant planets Jupiter and Uranus.
In the early morning hours of July 12, the 23-day-old waning crescent moon will make a close approach to the largest world in our solar system, Jupiter, while also appearing just above Uranus, the second most distant planet. According to In the Sky from New York City, the arrangement will be visible from just after they rise at around 1:30 a.m. EDT (0530 GMT); it will likely take all three bodies an hour or two more to rise high enough in the early morning sky for them to be visible, depending on conditions in your viewing area.
