Moon and planet photos, from the EarthSky Community
The moon was new on November 4, 2021, and then the young moon – a waxing crescent – began moving up past the cluster of bright planets in the evening sky. There was a glorious moon and Venus Sunday and Monday evenings, November 7 and 8. Then the moon moved past the planets Saturn and Jupiter in the evening sky. The planets in the evening sky are spectacular now and about to be more so! Submit your photos to EarthSky here, for display on our community photo page. Thanks to all who contribute!
