Daytime Moon Watch: Find the January Moon in the Noon Sky This Week

Space.com notes that the Moon will be visible in daylight this week as it grows toward its May 1 full Moon. On April 22, look to the eastern sky at noon for a ~30% lit waxing crescent near Jupiter (about 5 degrees below); binoculars can help in the bright sky. The Moon will arc across the daytime sky for U.S. observers and later grace the southwestern sky after sunset. Observing the Moon with a telescope or binoculars is safe as long as you never point at the Sun.
