Two crescents, Venus and the Moon

On 08/31/2026 08:20 pm by Thomas Tan | Melbourne, Australia

I hope to show Venus and the moon as two thin crescents together.
That will happen on the 14th of September.
But the weather forecast is cloudy.

So I took a photo of Venus shot a few days ago and an old photo of a crescent moon.
The crescents will turn much thinner around mid September.
