Here are the moon and Venus a day earlier, July 23.  Notice the moon is above Venus in contrast to its position on July 24.  Why did it move?  Because the moon is moving in orbit around Earth.  Photo by Jose Luis Vuendia Carrera in Mexico City.  Thank you, Jose.

Bottom line: The moon and Venus on July 24, 2014. Beautiful photos of the sky’s two brightest nighttime object, in the east before dawn.
