The waning Moon passes less than a degree north of Venus in the morning sky.
The closest moment happened at 11 by Universal Time, about an hour before the time of our picture, when the Moon was lower; it occulted (hid) Venus as seen from Arctic regions.

ILLUSTRATIONS in these posts are made with precision but have to be inserted in another format. You may be able to enlarge them on your monitor. One way: right-click, and choose “View image” or “Open image in new tab”, then enlarge. Or choose “Copy image”, then put it on your desktop, then open it. On an iPad or phone, use the finger gesture that enlarges (spreading with two fingers, or tapping and dragging with three fingers). Other methods have been suggested, such as dragging the image to the desktop and opening it in other ways.
I was fortunate in having some clearer skies towards dawn this morning, Nov 8-9, and spotted the pair in twilight about 3/4° apart around 06:40 UT (northern UK, so this is also clock time right now). They were still easily visible, and a little closer, around 07:20, but by 08:00 the sky was cloudy, increasingly dull, with rain by about 08:15 for the rest of the morning, so sadly the occultation I might have caught in binoculars an hour or so later passed eclipsed by the clouds.
Such a beautiful early a.m. site! 🌜💫
