Moon and Planets at Twilight

Explanation: This week’s ongoing conjunction of Venus and Jupiter may have whetted your appetite for skygazing. Tonight is the main course though. On November 28, a young crescent Moon will join them posing next to the two bright planets above the western horizon at twilight. Much like tonight’s visual feast, this night skyscape shows a young lunar crescent and brilliant Venus in the western evening twilight on October 29. The celestial beacons are setting over distant mountains and the Minya monastery, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, China, planet Earth. Then Mercury, not Jupiter, was a celestial companion to Venus and the Moon. The fleeting innermost planet is just visible here in the bright twilight, below and left of Venus and near the center of the frame. Tomorrow, November 29, the crescent Moon will also help you spot planet Saturn for desert.

说明：这星期发生的金星合木星可能激起了你仰望天空的意愿。今夜的星空是一场好戏（主菜）。11月28日的黄昏时分，在西侧的地平线附近，一轮年轻的新月将和这两颗明亮的行星一起出现在夜空中。和今晚即将开始的视觉盛宴类似，上图这片夜空是10月29日在暮色之下出现的一轮新月和明亮的金星。这对天空灯塔照亮了远处的山脉和寺庙（四川省甘孜藏族自治州）。而水星是金星和月亮的伙伴，而非木星。这短暂出现的最内侧行星（最接近太阳）在黄昏之下可以看到，它位于金星的左下侧、影像中央附近。明天也就是11月29日，新月的月光将会帮助你看到土星（甜点）。
