The waxing crescent moon photographed at sunset from the Paranal observatory in Chile in the Southern Hemisphere. Here we see the moon with a thin sliver illuminated. This thin sliver is orientated towards the Sun which has just set. Below and to the left of the Moon we see the planet Venus.
One of the small Auxiliary Telescopes which are sometimes linked to the Very Large Telescope is shown in the foreground.
