Is it the moon? I don't know. You would have to back up to really see. At that looks like a point of light. If it is close to the sun and the sun is coming up, it is more than likely -- it is close.

That cannot be Saturn unless there is an eclipse going on. it could only be Saturn if there was a chunk taken out of it. The only thing I've seen like that with a chunk taken out is the moon. The only other planet that I have seen that you could see that has a chunk taken out of it like that would be Venus. these are the kinds of conversations you will stumble into. . . .
