Moon + Venus + Jupiter

Limerick, Ireland

An interesting astronomical event this evening ... Venus, Jupiter, and the crescent moon are very close together in the south-western sky just after sunset. The moon passes in front of Venus, with Venus emerging at about 5.10 pm. Venus is the brighter of the two planets.
