And yesterday, on September 19, skygazers watching from some locations in Earth&#8217;s northern hemisphere were also able to witness Venus, in the inner planet&#8217;s waxing gibbous phase, pass behind the Moon&#8217;s waning crescent. In fact, this telescopic snapshot was taken moments before that occultation of gibbous Venus by the crescent Moon began. The close-up view of the beautiful celestial alignment records Venus approaching part of the Moon&#8217;s sunlit edge in clear daytime skies from the Swiss Alps. Tomorrow, the Sun will pass behind a New Moon. But to witness that partial solar eclipse on September 21, skygazers will need to watch from locations in planet Earth&#8217;s southern hemisphere. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap250920.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early risers around planet Earth have enjoyed a shining crescent Moon near brilliant Venus, close to the eastern horizon in recent morning twilight skies.
