by the waning crescent Moon will occur early on Wednesday, 22 April, at approximately 5 am PDT. This very rare event, when the Moon passes in front of Venus, won't occur again until 11 October 2029 (and the last time this event occurred was in 1923.)
This naked-eye occurrence will be easy to see since it involves the two brightest objects in the sky. Get up at the appropriate time, cast your gaze low to the east, and weather permitting, enjoy! Link to article in Sky & Telescope.
