Tonight, the Moon was sitting pretty next to brilliant Venus. Jupiter was below and the Pleiades was above. Tomorrow night the Moon will be between the Pleiades and the Hyades star clusters. Look high in the west at 9 pm for this interesting celestial combination.
After viewing these sights, turn around and inspect Mars shining in Leo. It currently moves just to the left of the star Regulus. It is known as the Red Planet. Is it really red? How bright is it? Is it brighter than Sirius, which shines in the south?
Such is our view from Earth...
