The coming evenings – February 24, 25, 26 and 27, 2020 – present a grand time to go young moon hunting. The moon was new on February 23. On that date, the moon was passing more or less between the Earth and sun for this month and so was moving across our daytime sky – invisibly, all day – in the sun’s glare. But now the moon has moved a touch east of the sun, as seen from Earth. That means it’s a touch east of the sunset, or very low in the west after sunset on February 24 … and higher in the west after sunset each evening after that.
