The five-day-old waxing crescent Moon looked just stunning in the evening sky last night as it made a close encounter with the planets Jupiter and Saturn.
All three celestial bodies were enclosed within a 6-degree circle in the constellation of Sagittarius with the Moon and Jupiter only 2 degrees away from one another.
Keep watching the western sky after sunset as Jupiter and Saturn get closer and closer for their 20-year conjunction on the 21st December 2020…what an amazing view it will be for Christmas J
