I’d guess Venus and Regulus based on the date/time

That’s a very pretty alignment, I’d have taken a photo too 🙂

Photons, most likely. Although, people exposed to Intense radiation can can visual stimulation known as phosphenes, in which case you have bigger worries.

Lucifer is trying to wear the crescent moon like a set of horns.

Took the exact same picture the other morning. Venus and Regulus. And then obviously the crescent moon lol.

I wonder if OP is thinking about how you can see a bit of the moon illuminated but the rest of it is more clearly visible than usual as well.

That’s the Moon with its other two moons: Moonia and Moonos

What everyone is omiting is that the “dark side” of the moon is illuminated by the earth. The light our planet reflects. Earthshine as oposite of the night light we get on full moon… moonshine.

Download Stellarium – really cool app that uses your GPS to show you what you point your phone at in the sky.

A moon, planet, and star trifecta. Needs a comet for full points.

Conjunction with Venus. Not sure about the 3rd light. Generic star or far away galaxy maybe.
Edit – /u/mxrider255 beat me to it, Regulus is the 3rd.

Edit: The one with the crescent is our own moon
The bright one was Venus, the slightly dimmer one was Regulus
Regulus is about 79 light years away from us
Venus is about 2 to 14 light minutes away from us
