What's the object in the sky?
The photo shows a conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter.
A few hours later, observers in Europe
(APOD,
virtualtelescope.eu)
saw the Moon pass directly in front of Jupiter, an event called an occultation.

Stellarium shows Venus and Aldebaran below them, but in the photo they are probably behind a cloud.
Capella is visible at far left, slightly higher than the Moon.
