Waxing Crescent Moon and the Twins

Posted on by

   Thursday evening May 9th the 5-day old waxing crescent Moon will be about 4-5o from the star Pollux, one of the two Gemini ‘Twin’ Stars. The Moon and Pollux will fit within the field of view of 7×50 binoculars however the other ‘Twin’ star Castor is out of that field of view.
