“Mercury Meets Crescent Venus” is copyrighted by Marco Meniero. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis is not a bright star and crescent Moon between tree branches. It is Venus in a crescent phase and Mercury. These two inner planets were seen close together in a telescopic view from Italy on May 22, near the western horizon after sunset. Venus, a very bright celestial beacon, is moving lower into the evening twilight. It appears larger and shows a thinner crescent as it heads toward its inferior conjunction.
