The waning crescent moon joins lanternlike Venus in the eastern sky at dawn on the mornings of Monday, August 17, and Tuesday, August 18. Several more moon-Venus pairings will occur more-or-less monthly in the morning sky until Venus virtually disappears from the morning sky at the end of 2009. Early to mid-2010 will see many more moon-Venus encounters, but they will take place in the western sky at dusk.
