crescent

The month begins after the sighting of the crescent moon, with most mosques in Cambridgeshire starting their first fast on Saturday, while some are expected to start on Sunday.

On Saturday 1 February, some of our BBC Weather Watchers reported these sightings of the crescent Moon and Venus close together.

Stargazers around the globe were treated to a stunning celestial scene on Friday as Venus appeared shining brightly above a crescent Moon.

But by Dec. 13 and 14, the moon will be in a waxing crescent phase, and its brightness won’t overpower the skies.

The crescent is in a quiet area of Trowbridge made up of homes and four schools – two primary and two secondary.
