Conjunction of the Waxing Crescent Moon and Venus

On the 17th July 2026, the conjunction of the waxing crescent moon and Venus dazzled the skies for about 3 hours after sunset in the north west of Singapore. A conjunction occurs when the planets appear very close to each other from our perspective on Earth.

The planets seem nearly aligned, but are actually separated by millions of miles in space, according to NASA. The skies were perfectly clear for the sight to behold with the naked eyes.
