Keep an eye on the western sky for the pairing – and you may also see Mercury hovering over the horizon
This week, we keep an eye on the western sky to catch glorious Venus and a young crescent moon.
The chart shows the view looking west from London at 19.00 GMT on the evening of 2 March. At this point, the moon will be just over three days old and have just 10% of its visible surface illuminated. While the pairing will not be particularly close, it will still be a beautiful sight. Venus remains in Pisces, the fishes, which is one of the fainter constellations and, although now on the wane, the planet will still be gloriously brilliant.
