“Moon and Venus Appulse over a Tree” is copyrighted by Alex Dzierba. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteVenus shines brightly next to the crescent Moon in this early morning sky over O'ahu, Hawaii. This close apparent alignment, called an appulse, happened about a week before the photo was taken. The Moon was a thin sliver, just a few days past new, making Venus an even more striking companion. Both objects were captured rising over Koko Crater.
