your birthday.
“Crescent Moon and Venus” is copyrighted by Drew Sullivan (Ancient Starlight). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteLast Friday, the Moon and Venus shared the early evening sky, both appearing as crescents. This telescopic image shows their similar phases. Venus, often the brightest object in the sky, is small, so you usually need binoculars or a telescope to clearly see its crescent.
