Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere will have a hard time seeing the Thin Crescent Moon, unlike those in Africa.
Go to the South Africa Astronomical Observatory for sky news & views:

We seek the thin crescent moon

Slivered in dark sky

Seven degrees from the sun

Goodness, what a gem! I have never seen the moon completely on its back like this! How much more valuable and precious the natural world is than any source of stimulation that we could ever seek to own or buy. This is priceless. Thank you. Such little things provoke such deep thought and consideration as to how different our life experiences really are. LOL Kate xx
