Great photos: Moon and Venus on November 6, 2013

Early in the day of November 6, 2013, Jv Noriega in Manila captured this beautiful image of Venus and the moon. Note the moon's location below Venus. As the day passes, the moon will move up past Venus. Why? Because the moon is moving in orbit around Earth. Thank you, Jv!

Venus and moon as seen on the U.S. East coast. Pamela Sam Withrow caught this image in Crawley, West Virginia on November 6. See how much the moon has moved? From the U.S. on November 6, the moon was far above Venus. Thank you, Pamela!

By the time we posted the November 6 photos, it was already the evening of November 7 in Asia. As you can see, the moon is now moving higher in the sky, away from Venus. Photo from Guwan Elder Panbil at Villa Batam in Batam, Indonesia. Thank you, Guwan!
