If you zoom in on Jupiter (not on a smartphone), you can see some of the moons in the 10 o'clock direction. Callisto a bit further away and then Ganymede and Io close to the planet. The resolution is not sufficient discriminate the two. Above the Moon is Alnath in Taurus.

I saw this waxing crescent moon at 33% illumination last night as I was putting out our recycling and compost carts for Friday morning pickup. I made this photo of the waxing crescent moon at 46% illumination when I opened our garage door a half hour before midnight to check if it was visible. I was please to find it a little higher in the sky than 22 hours earlier. I shot this handheld using my Canon Powershot SX50 set at aperture preferred, spot focus, at infinity. It greatly helps that my camera has image stabilization.

YESTERDAY - January 31, 2025
Yesterday the Moon was in a Waxing Crescent Phase. Best seen in the west after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. This is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon's surface.
