This observation was ascertained on my drive to school from South Venice.
The smallest crescent moon I have ever seen was visible this morning, and got to watch the transition of around 40 minutes of the Sun's rising changing the visibility of the dark portion of the moon. The time it takes me to get to school is truly a peak viewing period, because it is literally a time at which the Sun cannot be seen rising near the horizon, but eventually can be seen rising just over the horizon around 7:10. This time frame allowed me to see the moon go from easily being able to see the whole dark portion, to the dark portion slowly fading as the Sun rose, and eventually the moon's crescent was almost the only remnant of the moon left in the sky.
