New Moon , Waxing Crescent Moon

The New Moon was on first of September.
On second of September I was hunting without success the crescent of the New Moon , apparently passing close to Venus and Jupiter.
All I was able to see with naked eyes and  with binocular was Venus.


I was lucky on 2-nd of September when the crescent of the two days old Moon was visible to the East of Venus.








On 4-th of September the Moon passed at 1.5 degrees North of Spica.
Due to thin clouds , what I was able to see was the narrow crescent of the 2.92 days old Waxing Crescent Moon.





However , the Moon is such a beautiful celestial body !
No other wanderer of the sky is creating such marvelous landscapes!

Mercury Tranzit After- Party: Crespuscular Rays and a young New Moon Crescent

On 9 of May , the Nature  was celebrating the tranzit of Mercury  with gorgeous crepuscular rays and a thin 1.64 days (or 39 hours )  old  Moon crescent.
The Moon crescent was hardly but still visible in the day light.

First , let see some crepuscular rays.
















And now the 1.64 days or 39 hrs old  Moon crescent.


The Moon crescent is visible above the stray cloud located above the ''is'' word.




Here the crescent was recorded at the level of the highest leaves and the heighest cloud.


And least but not last ,the manipulated pics of this young Moon Crescent , just to show it better.
