Pretty Moon Joins Jupiter (evening)

Another 24 hours of eastward orbital motion will place the slightly fuller crescent moon less than a palm's width to the upper right (or 5 degrees to the celestial north) of the brilliant planet Jupiter between the horns of Taurus, the Bull on Wednesday evening, April 2. The duo will share the view in binoculars and make a nice photo opportunity until they set in the west
towards midnight local time.
