Crescent moon and the goddess of love.
February 28th, 2009 by Jim Clark
Venus, named after the goddess of love, and a young new crescent moon put on a great light show last night. They looked incredibly close to each other in the night sky. February marks the pinnacle of evening visibility of Venus and last night was its greatest brilliance.
Last night was among the best evenings of the year for novice star gazers. Hopefully you caught a glimpse of it. If not, here’s the next best thing.
