Look for a dim 1.8-magnitude orange spark 5° lower right of the Moon. You may even be able to see Mars, now recently returned to the morning sky. it should be a mouthwatering sight - knife-edged, filled out with earthshine, and easy to spot above a tree line or building. The Moon, less than two days before new, shines from Virgo in a black sky as soon as 6 a.m. This coming weekend we can take advantage of the oversleeping Sun to spot a beautiful crescent Moon at dawn on Saturday October 26th. And we get some of the latest ones just before daylight-saving time ends on November 3rd. They take the sting out of getting up early to witness a morning-sky event. Ali Seraji saw and photographed this very young evening crescent just 16 hours and 50 minutes after the new Moon on January 31, 2014. Calling all crescent lovers! Here's a chance to set a new personal record by seeing one of the oldest moons ever.
