Crescent Moon Jumps Jupiter (evening)

In the western sky after dusk on Tuesday, April 29, the waxing crescent moon
will shine prettily a fist's diameter to the lower right (or 11 degrees to the
celestial northwest) of Jupiter. On the following evening, April 30, the moon
will climb to shine a palm's width to Jupiter's upper right (or 6 degrees to
its northeast). The moon's nightly shift across the stars and planets has long
shown us that the moon is orbiting around Earth. The moon and Jupiter will
make a lovely photo opportunity when composed with some foreground scenery
before they set in the west around 11 p.m. local time.
