Lunar Passages
Many
times during a month the Moon passes by bright stars and planets, and often we
are treated to nice pairings or groupings of these objects.
As shown in this view set for 0400 CDT on July 18th a waning crescent Moon will be below the Pleiades and above Venus and the stars of the Hyades. Mars is the reddish dot down to the right from the Moon. |
