See the moon and Venus join close together tonight

The ouline of a large orange circle hangs in a hazy blue pink sky above a low, grassy horizon. In the circle, a faint orb is labeled The Moon, and a bright point labeled Venus. Blue lines trace faint stars to show a constellation, crossing in and out of the circle at the top left and right, respectively.

Few sights are as memorable as Venus, the brightest planet, passing very close to a crescent moon in a twilight sky. Such an event may have inspired the symbols on the flag of Turkey or the famous lines penned by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in "Rime of the Ancient Mariner:"

Till clomb above the eastern bar
The horned Moon, with one bright star
Within the nether tip
