The pairing of the crescent moon and Venus was visible in the morning sky, offering a stunning sight for skywatchers. The event was observed in various locations, including Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet, and Sunset Beach, with many capturing and sharing the beautiful sunrise and sunset scenes on social media. The phenomenon drew attention and awe from the public, with mentions of Christmas decorations and the changing seasons also appearing in posts.
