Just past it's new Moon phase - and eclipse! - on the 20th, the Moon revolves to the east and joins Venus in the western evening sky on the 22nd, making for two slim crescents, as the 2nd planet approaches its own transit across the Sun in a couple weeks. Draco, in the northern portion of the sky, is an oft-overlooked area to spot some double stars that can be picked off with binoculars or small telescopes. And don't miss Saturn as it slides past a colorful star this week.

Don't forget about the Venus/Moon near each other this evening - two crescents separated by just three finger widths held at arm's length. Who can spot the thin Moon tonight? (And where's Curt - who should be asking this?)
