The Moon is in its Waning Crescent phase, meaning it's less than half visible. Soon, there won't be anything to see at all. But for now, there's still enough illuminated that we can see some features ...
Tonight, the moon won’t rise until after midnight — just as NASA’s Artemis II crew travel around it and head home to Earth.
The morning sky brings a lovely scene as the crescent Moon joins bright Mercury in the southeast before sunrise. The pair stands 10° apart in the predawn sky, about 9° above the horizon by 6:45 A.M.
