Amazing captures of the moon and Venus


A darkened city at dawn, with the waning moon and Venus above.

View larger. | Gilbert Vancell Nature Photography – an EarthSky friend on Facebook – captured this image on June 1, 2019. He caught it over the fortified city of Mdina on the island of Malta. He wrote: “Oh this was tight! I overslept my alarm after a night at the festival … I was expecting Venus to be closer, so the super zoom turned out to be too tight for this, and 35mm to wide, so I had to work with what I had and stitched 4 images at 150mm to cover the area I wanted.” Thanks, Gilbert!

Stephanie caught them as viewed from Eleven Mile Reservoir, Lake George, Colorado, USA. Also notice that the lit side of the moon points right at Venus. Thank you Stephanie!

Bottom line: Photos of the waning crescent moon and Venus – late May and early June, 2019 – from members of the EarthSky community. Submit your photos to EarthSky here.
