Look to the western sky about 30-90 minutes after sunset on April 19 for a fleeting but incredible sight, as the razor-thin crescent moon shines above the Pleiades open star cluster and Venus in the early spring sky.<\/p>\n

The upturned 11%-lit waxing crescent moon<\/u><\/a> will shine approximately 20 degrees above the western horizon \u2014 the width of two clenched fists held at arm’s length \u2014 just two days after the new moon on April 17.<\/p>\n
