About this image

A zoomed and cropped camera view of the crescent Moon approaching Venus this morning before the daylight occultation. Venus was easily visible with the naked eye as a bright spark below the Moon. Unfortunately thick cloud came over before I was able to see the disappearance of Venus behind the Moon.
