Moon Meets (Eats) Morning Star
Not a star at all, that’s actually Venus, captured in its morning conjunction with the Moon from earlier this month. 
Remind anyone else of Pac-Man?
Fun little note: You can see how the moon turns red near the horizon, thanks to the filtering out of the shorter wavelengths of light as they pass through the thicker atmosphere between us and objects at the horizon.
