Back to my binocs...cheers~ Dave ******************************************* TUESDAY'S THIN CRESCENT MOON Tuesday evening, June 7th, brings a chance to spot an unusually thin, young crescent Moon shortly after sunset. The crescent will be only 26 or 27 hours old as seen from the eastern U.S.; 29 or 30 hours old as seen from the West. Bring binoculars. Venus helps you find it; see the illustration in Sky at a Glance, at: http://SkyandTelescope.com/observing/ataglance/article_110_1.asp The best view may be 30 to 45 minutes after sunset.
