Saturday evening May 23^rd look toward the western horizon for the very thin young 1.3-day old waxing crescent Moon. The Moon will be about 3-4^o from the inner planet Venus and about 5-6^o from the other inner planet Mercury. All three will easily fit within the field of view of binoculars and given the range of apparent magnitudes should make for a great view and even a picture.
   Apparent Magnitudes – Waxing Crescent Moon: -8.42 Venus:-4.16 Mercury: -0.42
