Thursday morning December 10^th the 25-day old waning crescent Moon will be passing by the blue-white star Spica in the constellation Virgo the Harvest Maiden, coming within about 5^o from Spica.

   Over the next two days the Moon will continue moving eastward and waning to an increasingly thin crescent shape. On the morning of the 12^th the even thinner crescent Moon will be about 3^o from the brightly shining inner planet Venus.
   New Moon is on the 14^th just in case you were wondering.
