 On the evenings of December 16 & 17, 2020, the waxing crescent Long Night moon will join Jupiter and Saturn, making an amazing sight in the southwestern twilight.


Jupiter and Saturn on December 16, 2020 shortly after sunset, as viewed from Earth’s surface. Notice that a 7% illuminated, waxing crescent moon will also be part of this early evening view. Jupiter and Saturn will be rather low in the SW sky – only about 17° above the horizon
