Thursday morning July 20^th watch for the thin 26-day old waning crescent Moon to be within 2-3^o from the inner planet Venus as both rise a couple of hours before sunrise. The reddish star Aldebaran in Taurus the Bull will be about 10^o from the Moon.
   Venus and the Moon will fit nicely within the field of view of binoculars.
