Venus, the Moon and the ISS meet in the western sky

Last night there was a beautiful conjunction of the three brightest objects in the night sky: one of these is, of course, the man-made International Space Station. Imagine the view of Venus and the thin crescent Moon that the astronaut crew must have enjoyed!

Being closer to the Sun than we are, Venus shows phases like the Moon's: last night it displayed an 80% illuminated gibbous 'oval'.
