A rare, very thin crescent moon will be visible low in the west-southwestern sky shortly after sunset on Monday, January 19th.
Clear skies and an unobstructed view are essential for spotting the faint, one-percent illuminated moon.
Use binoculars to enhance visibility, but only after the sun has completely set to protect your eyes.
Rare moon appears after the new moon
Skywatchers are in for a treat this Monday evening, January 19th, as a rare, razor-thin waxing crescent moon makes its appearance just one day after the new moon. This celestial event offers a challenging but rewarding opportunity to observe the moon in its earliest phase.
