If it's clear where you are go out and look at it because it's absolutely beautiful. Proper crisp crescent with Venus beside. My phone camera can't do it justice unfortunately!

I noticed this, but didn’t realise it was Venus! I tried to take a photo but it was terrible - I need a tripod.

The moon and Venus here from my daughters house.

It was so pretty! I didn't know what star it was so thank you OP.

Absolutely stunning.

Nothin' but big blackness here. I did spot Venus being vey sparkly last night. Lovely photos, PPs, thank you!

I hadn't known it was Venus - I saw it earlier, with a plane silently flying across the moon with its lights flashing, it was an incredible sight.

Venus is a planet, not a star.

Yes I know but to the naked eye it looks like a star
