FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
If pre-dawn skies are clear, early risers Monday will be greeted by a beautiful pairing of the waning crescent moon and the planet Venus, low in the southeast. The sun rises at 6:49 a.m., so start looking between 5:45 and 6 a.m. You’ll see Venus just to the left of, and slightly below the slender moon. If you oversleep, or clouds interfere, try again Tuesday morning. The moon will have moved to the left of Venus. These are the two brightest objects in the sky after the sun.
