Friday March 1st the 25-day old waning crescent Moon will be less than 0.5o from the ringed planet Saturn, as the two rise before the Sun rises. In other parts of the world the Moon actually passes in front of Saturn in an occultation. Regardless of the viewing location the thin waning crescent Moon and the planet Saturn should make for a great view with binoculars.

Thanks – I enjoy crescent moons, new and old.
