After sunset on October 3, some of the Solar System's largest moons stood low along the western horizon with the largest planet.

An old Moon rose this morning, its waning sunlit crescent shining just above the eastern horizon before sunrise.

Last Sunday when the Moon was young its sunlit crescent hung low near the western horizon at sunset.

Tonight the Moon is young again, but this stunning image of a young Moon near the western horizon was taken just after sunset on October 10.

Have you seen the Moon lately? On April 18, its waxing sunlit crescent moved through planet Earth's night across a background of stars in the Hyades.
