Half-moon near Saturn and Neptune (pre-dawn)

The southeastern sky before sunrise on Thursday morning, June 19 will host the
pretty, waning crescent moon posing with two planets. Once they have cleared
the rooftops around 2 a.m. local time, the yellowish dot of Saturn will be
shining a short distance to the right (or celestial west) of the nearly half-
illuminated moon, allowing them to share the view in binoculars. Venus will
gleam off to their lower left (celestial east) after it rises at around 3 a.m.
local time. Saturn will disappear once the sky brightens towards sunrise, but
the moon and Venus will linger a while longer.
