Villagers from O’Raing Ov district, Kampong Cham province, reported that in the evening of Sunday 16 May, more than 300 of them living in village No. 4 East, Ompil Ta Pok commune, O’Raing Ov district, Kampong Cham, were aroused to watch a strange event when a star rose over the shining moon crescent during the 3rd night of the waxing moon of the month of Ches, Buddhist era 2554 (16 May 2010) between 7:30 and 8PM. A villager who saw this event called DAP while the villagers were watching the event above. The caller said: “In my whole life, we never see such an event.”
While the villagers at No. 4 East village were gazing at the night sky, people living in Phnom Penh and a few other regions could not see it because of the cloudy sky.

I did see it last night from Takhmoa, Kandal province. Yes it is first time I have seen it
Nothing strange - it is venus
Stargazers were treated to a spectacular and rare show last night after Venus was eclipsed by the moon.
The phenomenon, known as a "planetary occulation", occurred when the moon came between Venus and the Earth, the Daily Mail newspaper reports.
Online users said the alignment looked like a "smiley-face".
"Between the horns of the crescent, a ghostly image of the full Moon can be seen," NASA said in a statement.
"That's Earthshine, the light of our own planet reflected back toward us by the Moon's dark terrain.
Australians weren't able to see the celestial show — it was only visible in southeast Asia a few hours after sunset.
Venus is due to pass between the Earth and the Sun on June 5, 2012.

Khmer Idiots are DUMB ASS, FUCK KHMERS
Moon is treated as Thailand while the star is treated as Cambodia. Now the star is raising on top of the moon.
Cheers Cambodia!
