Crescent Moon Joins Jupiter, Venus and Mercury in Sunset Sky Parade
TL;DR
On June 17, after sunset, a slender crescent Moon will glide through the Beehive star cluster alongside Jupiter, Venus and Mercury in a spectacular western-sky parade; Mercury will vanish within about two hours, while the Moon remains visible for roughly an hour longer, and binoculars or a small telescope will help skywatchers enjoy the view across the U.S.
