Crescent Moon Visits Venus and Jupiter (pre-dawn)

For several mornings centered on Wednesday, August 20, the waning crescent
moon will make a pretty sight and photo opportunity while it shines in the eastern pre-dawn sky near the brilliant planets Venus and Jupiter and the
stars of the winter constellations. On Tuesday, the moon will pose above Jupiter, on Wednesday it will descend to shine to the left of both planets,
and on Thursday it will descend to appear near Mercury while Venus and Jupiter gleam above them.
