VENUS and the Moon will be together west just after sunset, which is at 8:20 p.m.
As it gets dark, you should also see the Moon as a full circle, but with one side lit up. This is known as Earthshine and is created by sunlight bouncing off the Earth onto the dark side of the Moon, as shown by the photo by our NWN photographer, Phil Cannings.
With the cloudy and rainy weather forecast for next week, this could be your last chance to observe the sky for a while.
This rather shaky iPhone image, taken on Saturday, gives you an idea of what you’ll see, with Venus glowing over the crescent moon. Tonight they will be even more together.
It looks much more impressive than this photograph and it’s worth taking a look outside to take a look.
If you want to try and catch another Starlink pass, it will take place at 10:24 p.m.
The clear sky means that the star constellations are very clear to see and we love seeing your pictures. Email them to [email protected]
