If you get a clear western sky on the evening of 5th January 2011, do spare a few minutes and have a look at the crescent Moon. It will be of 1st Safar 1432 Insha Allah, and will be quite slender due to reasons described in another thread.
Photographs may sometimes show a lunar crescent thicker than it actually is due to incorrect focus and/or exposure, so if possible, try to look at this crescent yourself. Good luck.
