Crescent Moon Dances with Saturn After Sunset on Jan. 22
TL;DR
After sunset on Jan. 22, a 17%-illuminated waxing crescent moon will appear about six degrees below Saturn in the west-southwest, with Earthshine making the dark limb faintly visible; a small telescope or binoculars helps you spot Saturn (rings may be visible under good skies) as both objects grace the early evening sky.
