Celestial Delight: Witness the Enchanting Venus-Moon Conjunction

On Thursday, November 9, early risers will have the opportunity to witness a close conjunction between the crescent moon and Venus, creating a smiley face in the sky. Visible in the eastern sky starting at about 3 a.m. across North America, the moon will be just 15% lit during the event. While North America will experience a lovely conjunction, some parts of Greenland, Iceland, Europe, Russia, and Africa will witness Venus briefly disappearing behind the moon.
