Dinh Nguyen caught the planets and moon the day before, February 19, 2015. This is an amazing capture … I believe Dinh is on the U.S. east coast. It would have been a very, very young moon. See it near the bottom of the photo?



Bottom line: Wonderful photos of Venus and Mars, and the waxing moon, after sunset on February 20, 2015! Thanks for the many dozens of photos posted at EarthSky Facebook and also submitted directly to EarthSky.org. We’re not able to publish them all but we love you all and thank you!
