Saturday evening ( Oct. 5 ) as darkness is falling, be sure to take a look low toward the west-southwest part of the sky for a beautiful celestial tableau.

The moon will appear to hover about 4-degrees below and to the left of Venus .

These Venus-moon rendezvous occur on roughly a monthly schedule.

If Venus were stationary and did not appear to move against the star background, then the next time Venus and the moon should appear to pair-off would be on Nov. 1 .

If you take a stunning photo of Venus and the moon, send it to our skywatching inbox at [email protected].
