      Explanation: Yesterday, the Moon was New. But on January 9, early   
      morning risers around planet Earth were treated to the sight of an old   
      Moon, low in the east as the sky grew bright before dawn. Above the   
      city of Saarburg in Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany, this simple   
      snapshot found the waning Moon's sunlit crescent just before sunrise.   
      But also never wandering far from the Sun in Earth's sky, inner planets   
      Venus and Mercury shared the cold morning skyview. In the foreground   
      are the historic city's tower and castle with ruins from the 10th   
      century.
