Crescent Moon Jumps Jupiter (evening)
In the western sky after dusk on Tuesday, April 29, the waxing crescent moon will shine prettily a fist's diameter to the lower right (or 11 degrees to the celestial northwest) of Jupiter. On the following evening, April 30, the moon will climb to shine a palm's width to Jupiter's upper right (or 6 degrees to its northeast). The moon's nightly shift across the stars and planets has long shown us that the moon is orbiting around Earth. The moon and Jupiter will
make a lovely photo opportunity when composed with some foreground scenery before they set in the west around 11 p.m. local time.
