A little ramble through the night sky -Venus the goddess of Love kisses the Moon on June 17th

On Wednesday June 17th at around 10.30 in the evening it will be possible to see Venus very close to the crescent Moon. As long as it is not cloudy. 

Venus will be the very bright white dot just above the Moon. The pair will seem to be so close that it will look like they are kissing.

The crescent Moon will be low down in the north west the area of sky where the Sun has set. You can see this with the naked eye. You will not need binoculars or a telescope to see this event.
