See it on NASA's siteThis twilight photo from Colorado shows Mercury, Venus, Earth, and the Moon, with Mars being the only inner solar system body missing. The Moon is a young crescent, about three degrees above bright Venus. Smoke from forest fires creates a haze, almost obscuring Mercury, which is low on the horizon.
