The moon and The venus

The Moon and Venus - both are bright enough to be seen during the day, and both are quite capable of showing a crescent phase.
To see Venus, which appears quite small, in a crescent phase requires binoculars or a telescope. In the above dramatic daytime image taken from Budapest, Hungary in 2004, the Moon and Venus shared a similar crescent phase a few minutes before the Moon eclipsed the larger but more distant world.
