THE NIGHT SKY-WED. SEPT. 16-1 HOUR BEFORE DAWN

IN THE NIGHT SKY THIS MORNING THERE IS A VERY BRIGHT
CRESENT MOON DUE EAST ABOUT 10 TO 20 DEGREE'S ABOVE THE HORIZEN.
IT APPEARS TO BE VERY CLOSE TO THE EARTH AND JUST TO THE LEFT
ABOUT ABOUT 2 AND A HALF FULL MOON LENGTHS IS A VERY BRIGHT
VENUS THAT ALSO APPEARS TO TO BE SO CLOSE TO THE EARTH THAT
YOU COULD REACH OUT AND TOUCH IT.THEY ARE BOTH JUST ABOVE THE
HORIZEN AND YOU CAN SEE THEM BOTH SHINING VERY BRIGHTLY WITH
YOUR UNAIDED EYES.
JUST TO THE RIGHT AND MORE DIRECTLY STRAIGHT UP IS A CLUSTER
VERY BRIGHT STARS-ONE WHICH APPEARS TO BE THE LITTLE DIPPER.
BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER STARS AS WELL ALL SHINING VERY BRIGHTLY.
IT'S QUITE AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT AND DEFINATLY WORTH CHECKING OUT.
