Venus was a very thin crescent in the morning sky just before sunrise last month. It is still a crescent, but it's phase is growing. Mars, being 60 million km more distant from the Sun than Earth, never appears as a crescent. The two planets appear next to each other in the morning sky now, about 90 minutes before sunrise.

Can someone tell me the next time the phase of venus transitions to a thin crescent shape? Thanks in advance.
