Astronomer Steven Bellavia at Brookhaven National Labs caught a smashing picture of the crescent Moon this past Monday , which he come about along for Gizmodo to share . Can you see what ’s so particular about it ? Go in advance and examine it closely .

There ’s a little crescent planet Venus !
And in finale - up :
Venus , being a sphere like our own Earth and Moon , has phases . As it normally just looks to the bare eye like the bright star in the sky , it ’s severe to pick out those phases without a scope . Bellavia was able to capture both crescent in a single icon . He used aCanon EOS Rebel SL1camera body with a Sigma 70 - 300 mm lens ( and a tripod , presumptively ) , which I only show out because I ’m just starting to take photos myself and had n’t considered that you could get such unspoilt flick of the sky with affordable equipment .
savor your weekend !
