Can you still see Venus and the moon for yourself?  Yes.  They'll be visible again on the morning of September 11.  Then the moon will sink into the dawn ... but Venus will appear in our morning sky for months to come.

Then the moon will sink into the dawn, while Venus remains in our morning sky for months to come. This is the view from North America on these mornings, but, as you can see from the photos on this page, these objects are visible near each other from around the world.
