Earthshine, image taken by Derek Rowley.

Sunlight reflected by Earth that makes the otherwise dark part of the Moon glow faintly. It’s especially obvious during the Moon’s thin crescent phases.
So tonight keep your eye on the western twilight sky just after sunset that Venus is seven degrees south of the Moon.
See the SkyMap.
