: The action begins shortly before sunset. Around 4:30 pm to
5:00 pm local time, just as the sky is assuming its evening hue,
Venus will pop into view, glistening bright in the deepening
twilight. No more than 6 degrees to the right lies the crescent
Moon, exquisitely slender, grinning like the Cheshire cat with his
head cocked at humorous attention. This is a wonderful time to
look; there are very few sights in the heavens as splendid as Venus
and the Moon gathered close and surrounded by twilight blue.
