See it on NASA's siteSometimes the sky puts on a remarkable show. This image, taken in Spain, captures a crescent Moon and the planet Venus converging at sunset. Dark storm clouds gather at the bottom of the frame, with a white anvil cloud adding to the dramatic scene. Birds in flight complete this picturesque view of our solar system's neighbors.
