Details:
The Moon and the zodiac constellation Virgo's brightest star Spica set virtually together. I thought that Spica had long since disappeared into the sunset, so it was a surprise to see it close to the 2 day old Moon in my planetarium program. Visually, Spica was impossible to see, and ditto with 7x35 binoculars, but 15x50 image-stabilized binoculars had little problem spotting it in the same FOV as the Moon.
