TIGHT: Moon-Venus
The two will be rising together in the east, in the constellation Taurus. The 27.7-day-old Moon will have Venus to its upper right, the pair remaining fewer than two-and-a-half degrees apart the whole time. At 5:25am the Moon will be seven degrees up, and seventeen degrees up at 6:15am.
