Slender curve of the moon and bright beacon of Venus will be visible in the south-south-west on 5 December
No matter how many times you may have seen it, the crescent moon and the planet Venus make a beautiful pairing. This week, as twilight closes around the landscape, the duo will appear in the south-south-west. The chart shows the view looking from London at 16.30GMT on 5 December 2024.
Venus will be an unmistakably bright beacon in the gathering night, and the moon will be a slender crescent. The new moon was just over four days ago and will have approximately 20% of its visible surface illuminated.
