      Explanation: Venus now appears as Earth's brilliant morning star,   
      shining above the southeastern horizon before dawn. For early morning   
      risers, the silvery celestial beacon rose predawn in a close pairing   
      with a waning crescent Moon on Thursday, November 9. But from some   
      northern locations, the Moon was seen to occult or pass in front of   
      Venus. From much of Europe, the lunar occultation could be viewed in   
      daylight skies. This time series composite follows the daytime approach   
      of Moon and morning star in blue skies from Warsaw, Poland. The   
      progression of eight sharp telescopic snapshots, made between 10:56am   
      and 10:58am local time, runs from left to right, when Venus winked out   
      behind the bright lunar limb.
